Look away, Lola’s taking it off again
mainThe Trumpian pianist Lola Astanova, in her new video, is inappropriately attired for January.
And her touch is really heavy in Clair de Lune.

Ah, what artistry!
What cr@p !!
And the playing is, to put it kindly, pretty average.
Why can’t people just appreciate the music. Lola not only plays like a prodigy, but also uses her God-given assets to her advantage.
This pathetically un-talented creature shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the internet…..SAD!
She’s gorgeous – and playing for Trump doesn’t make her a “Trumpian pianist” anymore than being a chef at a Trump hotel makes her/him a “Trumpian chef”. A high-profile gig is a high-profile gig when you’re a young musician just getting established.
Though I agree with you, Norman, about her “Clair de lune”. Listen to Albert Ferber, Hans Henkemans, or pre-war Gieseking to hear the real deal.
Piano porn!! That’s the key to success, for some. Others are heading in that direction but manage to, at least, appear without us seeing their underwear. But very little is left to the imagination in the super short skirts.
Clue; this isn’t about music.
Where are the feminists? Are they going to be screaming “he was inappropriate”? I was ‘sexually harassed”!! In short, he responded to my tease and I’m crying foul!! All the time. Always.
Girls, put some clothes on and don’t advertize your wares if you don’t want attention.
So you’re saying, sexual harassment is justified if girls wear clothing with more cleavage than usual?
But I call her an exhibitionist!! I don’t think she has ever played the piano in an appropriate outfit!! The deal is she knows she will get attention from men and she does!! This is why she dresses as she does!! Loves attention!! Also she is suppose to be known as a classical pianist…but she doesn’t dress that way!!! Also she is headed to 40 years old!! Don’t think she will marry and have children!!
That’s it though , there are thousands of talented female pianists in formal attire who won’t get any or little attention and remain unknown and never make it and will never be able to earn a living from the piano .
I admire Lola and Yuja Wang for wanting to stand out from the crowd and in return make big bucks .
It’s not an easy path for them as you need a thick skin to rise above all the abuse you will get .
I wish I was that piano!
Wow. That’s soft core porn. Very produced. I guess she’s just putting it out there more overtly than others. She definitely owns her shtick.
I’d be interested to know if her fans consider themselves classical music lovers in general, or if she alone can satisfy them.
Come on Norman!! in January South also exists and her costume is completely appropriately…!
If she could play it like this, I wouldn’t care if she wore a business suit, an evening gown, or nothing at all, because her clothing or lack thereof would be the furthest thing from my mind.

Well, she is not overburdened with good taste, but at least she seems to like classical music more than Russian new Minister of Culture does.
Why am I looking away, exactly?
I think that this presentation would probably make Fragonard blush.
I’m sure you’ve (un)covered this ground before, but how is Lola a Trumpian pianist? BTW, I’ve certainly heard more mannered performances of “Clear The Saloon”.
I wonder how many elderly men jerk off to this kind of content
Why look away? She wants you to admire her. No matter how good she is, her visual performance style is gaining mileage with every work she presents.
We can only imagine her next presentation, where the piano may not even be in the picture. She’ll then attract another crowd of followers who prefer eye candy to ear candy.
May be you can explain to us how is Astanova “a Trumpian” pianist?!? As far as we know Trump is not a classical music fan and Astanova is an USSR, Tashkent-born pianist with solid education!!
Personally I wish she would just fly away. There must be better soft porn than this.
Hilarious…. it looks like a self-deprecating spoof.
Nice Victoria’s Secret advert.
This earth-shattering !!! news item would likely have delighted audiences on Entertainment Tonight, but doesn’t belong on SD.
Stjepan Hauser playing Dvorak concerto stark naked is far more interesting to female viewers.

She looks more like a Kennedy or Clinton girl to me; I wonder if, like Hilary, she calls herself a ‘feminist’ too!!??
Yep, my man’s a serial philanderer and I put up with the public humiliation. That makes me a real feminist!!
I’m inclined to be somewhat sympathetic. About 15 years ago my wife and I attended a sparsely attended recital by Juilliard trained young violinist, Janice Martin (No relation), just coming off a glowing review in the Washington Post and playing a Stradivarius violin.
Now Martin performs in Branson, Missouri as the “World’s only aerial acrobatic and Juilliard trained Violinist, pianist, singer… .” In consolation I’m ordering her CD.

Lola found her “niche”, for better or for worse.
Does anyone know if there is a market for ugly, balding Russian men playing the piano?
ahem, asking for a friend
I wonder if there is a market for fat, hairy men playing the piano competently. Um, asking for a friend.
An atrocity.
Pathetic! Not the video or the musical performance, but the sexually repressed, neo-Victorian music snobs, criticising both the woman’s performance and her attire.
heavely … make music looks extremely differently…
I really enjoy seeing her display how the music effects her. Her body becomes an extension of the passion she is presenting.via the piano. She plays the instrument from thundering bass sounds to the very light upper registry of the instrument. Her selection her clothing gives one a beautiful visual presentation of the her outer beauty. Love her repertoire. Extraordinary musician,
