Since she's an accomplished violinist and musician, surely we can start the article out with a picture of her playing, and then put a thumbnail of the Playboy cover further down?? --nae'blis(talk)20:23, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've tried several times over the last few hours to get to her official site to maybe see if I could request a publicity photo but I can't get through to the site for some reason. I'll keep looking...Dismas|(talk)02:42, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This article is most likely written by media company of hers. Ms. Lampenius is not much known about music in Finland but her presence in Playboy and yellow tabloids (with ever going engagements of Swedish boyfriends). So article lacks why she is really famous. --Tbonefin05:50, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the picture is quite provocative and there are many other pictures that I find more suitable. Besides, the pictue is from exhipition called "Linda x 8" seen in Finland in 2003.
I don't know where you got your information from, but since you seem to know a lot about the subject maybe you can request a permission to use that image from the booking agency? If you have a free image, please upload it and replace the one I uploaded.Prolog23:45, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is it the best way to put it, that she was born Linda Lampenius? In the Nordic countries she still uses the name Lampenius, and AFAIK that is still her real name while Brava is just a "nom de guerre" she uses in English speaking countries (where people might here something funny if Lampenius is pronounced fast). //habj21:33, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It seems relevant to mention in the article why her last name is Brava, when she was born Lampenius, and her husband's name is Cullberg.LarRan (talk)12:10, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"She also didKFORChronicle forNATO inKosovo playing mostly pop and rock material."What does this sentence mean?
"Charlie Jones and Chris Blackwell from the on-tour band ofLed Zeppelin'sJimmy Page andRobert Plant withXTC's former guitaristDave Gregory and producer Craig Leon have written and produced many rock pieces for Brava, but for now, those have not been published just yet."
"Since then, she has made two large concert tours across the country, and managed to convince critics and listeners that she has an intuitive feel forNordicfolk music."
"Her latest album, which presents the finest songs inNordic folk tradition - has been truly a critical success."
==In media==
===Publications===
The international media has published endless amount of articles of Brava. She has graced the covers of many periodicals fromPlayboy toClassic FM magazine.
The Times,The New York Times, andThe Sunday Times have all reported on Brava's musical career. The cover ofThe Sunday Times' cultural encloser was dedicated for her, and she has also been featured inNew Scientist's editorial.
Classical music magazines have raved her talent and not by the leastThe Gramophone.Q-Magazine and Muso have also written about her.
Playboy magazine printed a ten-page article,Details named her the best newcomer in music- and sex-categories andGQ andMaxim have both interviewed her. Also women's magazine have wanted to write about Brava.Hello! has published a five-page article and British and SwedishElles have also made wide articles about her when not forgetting aboutVogue.
InFinland, Brava has been a household name for over a decade. All got started, when she made a musical appearance on a televisedFinnishAcademy Award Show in1996. Notabloid was quite complete without her. Although, Brava is an acclaimedviolinist with impressive musical accomplishments, she has always drawn more attention with her private life than with her music. Rumors on herbreast implants, marriage plans, break ups,eating disorders, and her broken little finger have captured most of the attention since day one. Today, theFinnishyellow press has already many othercelebrities to write and gossip about, so the attention around Brava is now more in balance.
===TV===
Brava has made many TV-performances as a musician performing in various enterntainment shows and visiting several talk shows in nearly everyEuropean country,Asia andthe US. She has also been interviewed by many television channels likeNBC,CNN,ABC,FOX TV,ITV,Rai Uno,Channel 4,BBC etc. Some of Brava's musical performances have also been telecasted over the years and, for example, her pop/rock show inRoyal Albert Hall in1997 was broadcasted byBBC.
==Quote==
"Regardless of the endless hours of practising and giving up a "normal" childhood, I can't say that I'd regret a single moment. Music has taken me around the world and it has enabled me to experience many different countries and their cultures --- I'm happy and very grateful that I've had the privilege to experience the richness of harmonies and colours and the joy of creating music together, when playing in different orchestras since the age of 8 --- Classical music is my love and gives me shivers"
