Worst looking CD/LP artwork

[pjme]

This cd got (2018) really good reviews (see Musicweb International, e.g. :

From Musicweb International
"Henryk Górecki is the only composer represented by two works on this disc with the first, Valentine Piece, being written for the solo flute. It was composed for the American flautist, Carol Wincenc, to whom he had dedicated his earlier Concerto-Cantata Op. 65. The idea was originally written on a napkin and based on a motif containing the notes C and A, the first two letters of her name. It has rather high writing for the flute which in places, to my ears at least, seems to imitate birds. This is something that is also to be heard in the other work by the composer, the one that gives the disc its title, For You, Anne-Lill, the longest work on the disc. It was composed for the Norwegian flautist Anne-Lill Ree. It begins in quite melancholy fashion, with the flute playing a melody over single repeated notes on the piano but branches out into more virtuosic sections with the occasional repeated bird-like calls on the flute and several shifts in intensity, making this a very varied piece in which the flute is really the star with the piano playing a subordinate role for a lot of the time."


I can't find a direct connection between the photo on the cover and the various pieces of music. But, in my opinion, Polish graphic designers like to use unusual themes that are not always sweet, let alone "cute".

Check out some of their stunningly beautiful and original filmposters...some are quite scary, harsh.

I haven't heard the music, and it's quite possible the cover image is the perfect match for it. The evocation of horror seems quite deliberate.

Still, I can't help but wonder if the title is abbreviated from 'I'm coming for you, Anne-Lill'.

The font and especially its colour are garish against the photo.

Oh dear.
