What happens in The Shed is supposed to stay in The Shed.

And all the clothes that you shed for that shot are still there, apparently.

If that little donkey says anything it's a damn lie!

The Shed contains All; so, yes: it has stayed in the Shed : )

Where did they get that picture of me?

Roz, white courtesy telephone, please . . . .

How lame, Paavo has to get his face everywhere these days, as if his mug on every CSO disc wasn't enough, now he's on Orpheus CO covers.

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird how the shirt is cutoff?

You are all too precise on this forum.

I'm just saying......there's nothing else on that cover, they could have stretched the photo, or even put a border up.

EDIT:  That's not a real CD cover?

Welcome to Minnesota, where men are men and sheep are terrified!

Incredibly, the real cover is ALSO a portrait of Paavo Jarvi.

Welcome to GMG; the place "where nothing is real". Nothing to get hung about.

"The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra is a top-notch group of talented musicians that can convey the emotion and passion behind any work they perform. Unfortunately, the only thing this group lacks is, me. And that's a damn shame." -Paavo Jarvi, quoted sometime at some bar.

Okay, one can't do anything about it if the opera itself was staged this way. Still, I can't help reeling back with disgust when this pops up every now and then at the top banner. Was there a mention or discussion about this recording recently?

Lis (uffeviking) has it, but didn't like it much.  She didn't write about it here, as far as I can find, but did write about it at my forum (http://operafriendsinexile.yuku.com/reply/20297/Electrifying-Trovatore-in-Brussels#reply-20297).  Yes, the thread's about a Trovatore in Brussels, but that's where she wrote about the Don Giovanni.

Rather looks like he was preparing to perform the hammer in the Sixth himself.

But now I'll go hunt it up, since it seems interesting.  I can always paste a pretty picture on the cover...

ETA: ordered it off Amazon.  I wonder how often this thread produces a purchase!
