[Der lächelnde Schatten]

Jonas Kaufman singing Schumann's Dichterliebe and Kerner Lieder.
Unfortunately you need to see the cover to understand why @Brian's comment is justified.

Thanks, Jeffrey.

creeeepy!!!!!!

Hands that cover the face, yet bear the image of that same face, can be seen as a visual symbol of non-duality — there is no separate "observer" and "observed"; it is all the same Self.

The face seems to emerge through the hands, as if through maya. It is both hidden and revealed at the same time.

Thanks, Jeffrey.

Anyway, that cover is creepy and not in a good way!

It seems it will be a digital-only release, with no physical CD issue.
Maybe they thought the cover wouldn't matter.

"Die Kunst der Fuge" (The Art of Fugue) is the fifth album in the Bach series by Jorg Halubek and his ensemble il Gusto Barocco - the think tank for the music baroque master Johann Sebastian Bach. The new recording is led by Jorg Halubek, who plays the historic German Silbermann Organ from 1737.

"Silbermann Organ from 1737" refers to the organ in Ponitz, which may be enough reason to want to hear this, although there are already so many ensemble recordings of this work to choose from...
