My wife thinks Alfred Brendel is one of the sexiest men alive, and would
need no encouragement to listen to something with his picture on it.  Which
leads into a new thread--using sex to sell classical music.  I suppose it
had to happen, and I suppose I shouldn't be upset if it gets more people to
listen, but I could really do without those pouty pictures of Sarah Chang.
