And I admire the fact that they have managed to get those great covers, with whatever resources :)
Ah, you got me there. Can't argue with that. :)
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

Every time I see these trios covers, I wonder why they couldn't have invested something...anything...into a decent cover! Anyway, are those acorns or some other nut?
Yes for crying out loud. It is a quartet recording, is it too much to expect FOUR nuts on the cover?

Bach

The Art of Fugue

Sergey Dizhur (organ)



Interesting enough I acquired this rare recording some months ago. I think the interpretation is very consistent and also more stylish than I had expected. I do not favour the Schuke-organ, but this is a minor problem.
Reality trumps our fantasy far beyond imagination.

You know you do  ;)

Barbara Schlick is one of my favorite "period" sopranos; her contribution to K.427 is heavenly. And I love the stand-alone D minor Kyrie K.341, a substantial filler on disc 1.
