What should I wear on my record sleeve?
mainMeet the Belgian pianist Liebrecht (no relation) Vanbeckevoort.
He has a Liszt album out on Etcetera and has dressed for it with evident care and attention.
Let’s see… he’s wearing a checked blue and yellow suit, slightly pinched at the waist.
Matching blue shoes.
Bow-tie, sort of blue. White shirt.
Someone must have thought this was a terrific cover.
You might not be the right person to judge his outfit…

But that is not fair; that was Schoenberg. This is Liszt.
The suit may be all he has going for him given the number or Liszt CDs already in the catalog. But I find it more appropriate then the fleshpots of You-jar and Kat-ear.
Actually, for Liszt it’s just about right.
And now, listen to the music.
As they said about Caruso, he’s a snappy dresser. Anyway my fellow-Fleming will be happy with the interest shown in his outfit. All bits help to get some atttention in a crowded field; especially now as next week he starts a CD-release tour.
I rather like the outfit, and at least it is a suit and tie. I do not quite understand the point of the comment…. Is your fashion taste really news, Mr. Lebrecht?
Terrible choice of outfit. You can’t even see his tits!
Seriously though, to me it bespeaks a certain flair for snappy dressing, and he’s clearly not afraid to wink at convention.
I love it. It accords perfectly with the meretriciousness of Liszt’s music.
As Liberace once said, “… it’s so they can see me from the balcony.”
