Not sure what she's aiming for (no pun intended):
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

Some golden oldies from the old thread. The first used to be my favourite:

                   
                   
                   
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

If they had airlifted him and the photograpic team by chopper, the disc would have been really expensive.

I don't find it very successfuil either (strange for a label like Hyperion); I was just answering what they may have been thinking.  ;)

It reminds me of those etching gifts you sometimes get at Christmas when people think you're a 'creative' type. You know, the ones where you scrape away the black coating to reveal the silvery stuff beneath and end up covered in black dust.  ???

I wanted to say that, but I felt two snarky comments was too much for one album cover. :D
