Interesting new release: Maybe the picture was originally destined for Honegger's 'Pacific 231'

"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).

Not the worst, but false advertising. I saw the font and picture and thought, "Oooh! Maybe it's a Bruckner for Kids album!" Because that sounded like it would be hilarious.  ;D  Then it wasn't a Bruckner for Kids CD and I'm venting my frustration by posting the picture here.

Have we had this beauty here yet?

Not gorgeous, but I have no problem with it.

A nice one I found during my absence...it reminded me of Karl, and I think I emailed it to him:

Poor Boult. I would have been ashamed to show my face to my mama after that kind of injury.

Is that a mini Steinway hanging from his belt? (Does someone else want to make the obvious six inch pianist joke now...)  ;D

That was me. And they sent a reissue with a different cover. Fiends!  >:(

Wow, how much time did you spend staring at that photo? That's scary, man.

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

 ;D that must be the ghost of Chopin hovering over Arturo  0:) in "flou artistique"!

Let's go for some expressionism : Elektra always brings out the best in great singers! Here's Astrid casting the bad eye at klytemnestra!

Thinking back to my previous post on this thread I've got a theory that some of the worst covers are for CDs in which the less repertoire-blessed instruments of the orchestra try too hard to put themselves in the shop window. Here, for instance, are just some of the results one gets if one plugs 'tuba' into Amazon UK:




(I wish this one was bigger!)
(and this one!)


(ridiculous literalism!)
(Tom's beardy brother?)

I'm off to try 'contrabassoon'....
