This is gonna be a skewed vote, with most men probably voting for a woman. And men are very likely in the majority here. So perhaps we should vote for women and men separately. Or else one could achieve justice by giving one woman's vote the weight of ten male votes 8) :D ;D
PS: in real life, we also have separate beauty contests for men and women

Is this a poll on which composer we think is most attractive or which one is objectively the most attractive? I'm not voting until that's answered... or the subject of an invective-laced 500-post thread.

QuoteSorry, but physical attraction is all on the subjective end.
That's what I was thinking when I read the preceding question. But then, it's probably not completely subjective. I'd say we are geared to finding certain physical attributes attractive (this can, to some extent, be experimentally tested). However, many people can still swim against the current and find beauty in persons - or anything else, for that matter, who/that most others may not find attractive.
As they say:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I tried to stay away from contemporary composers.
I voted for Brahms but read the list again and saw Clara Schumann on it. Arrgghhh... :-\
Oh, well. Being objective, I guess they'd probably tie for the top spot anyways.
Where is Xenakis, Mousorgsky, RVW, etc. on the list? Those guys are handsome!

Xenakis could've been if he didn't have shrapnel explode into his cheek and create a dent in it for the rest of his life- and it would help if he didn't have such a big Greek nose.

Oh, yeah. I could understand if he had a certain appeal to the women. The guy had serious balls.
Not only did he did he wear a scar of a hero on his face, but he escaped a death penalty and wrote some of the most brutal music ever known to man (and at that time, when heavy metal hadn't been invented, it was the most brutal by far).

A quote from another forum, written by Istvan:
"A friend, whose anecdotes, however incredible, have so far subsequently turned out to be true (for instance, the loutish treatment of Giulini and Jochum by the LSO) has told me that Sir Malcolm Sargent, on a visit to Ainola, asked Sibelius if he had any message for the British people. The composer is supposed to have replied, "Tell them I have a great big ***** and my wife is very happy." I refused to believe this until I read recently that he had a very Rabelaisian streak, which was why he prefered sharing whisky, cigars and anecdotes with Beecham."
***** stand for French horn of course.
This thread is certainly growing into a good one! 8)
That French Horn prize should seemingly go to Andrew Lloyd Webber. His ex-wife disclosed as much on TV. It is surely the only desirable prize he might deserve.
Mike
Given that Brahms and Clara Schumann come in first and second, a shame they never got together and had children. 8)

I also have this one super hot Slovakian girl on myspace whose uncle (or was it grandpa? i forgot) was a composer. She linked me to his music, and I listened to some of it, though I couldn't understand what the titles meant. On her profile's music player, she has doom metal, Penderecki, and is a fan of Schnittke, Mahler, and Prokofiev. Of course, you just don't meet people like this in real life.

Ha ha, great. To me, Bizet looks very intellectual, while Rachmaninoff has a rather noble appearance; Bartok's gaze is mesmerizing, Enescu is impenetrable as a sphynx and the young Tchaikovsky is perfect for a Turgenieff's main character.
I would vote Ravel!

Yes - the songs that Jeremy Northam (Spelling?) sings are Novello songs. It is quite cleverly weaved into the movie.

Here's the biggest hunk of all - Danish composer Rued Langgaard.

Here's the biggest hunk of all - Danish composer Rued Langgaard.

Haha, looks crazy.
Shostakovich was a special beauty, thanks to his glasses ;)

The young pic looks like The Cure!!!LOL ;D
Hands down, Jani Christou (1926-1970). He's as pretty as the singer from A-ha! ;)

That's most likely just a good picture taken when she was a bit younger. She's more average-looking in her other pics.

He looks like that actor.
If anyone can get that pic of Jani Christou up...
Not a clue which one you mean. I bought a disc of his music and there were several photos. One way or another, seems he is pretty popular.

Actually, he looks just like the footballer Robbie Savage (by name, by nature...)
