The Classical Music Industry is full of... uh,... non-photogenic people! How do they figure?,... I mean, the whole Pop Music Industry is built on photogenicisms (woah now!!),... they would NEVER put an Uchida, Dohnayni, or Levine on an album cover. NO WONDER Classical Music sales are low! Who wants to see a dogface on their Mahler, LvB, or whatever? Especially since the classical folks seem prone to ridiculous expressions,... oy!! ::)

I always thought it humorous that the album says 'MAHLER' (or whatever) in big huge letters, but then it is (say) Levine's ridiculous jewfro that we are given... kind of Pavlovian, no?

I want breasts! Big breasts! And lots of 'em!! ;) Breasts will sell Shostakovich's 7th,... I'm sure of it! ::)

Not strictly the topic . . . not the worst-looking, probably, but certainly the wrong cover artwork:

Girlfight? I donno...Vivaldi probably waded into more than a few girlfights at the orphanage!

He used... sarcasm. He knew all the tricks: dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and ... satire. He was vicious. Vicious, but fair.

The problem here is subtle, but as a cellist it makes me feel queasy. Puts me off listening to the discs, which is a shame. I managed to get past that today and actually listen to the music inside, for which I am thankful as Daniel Shafran narfahS leinaD is just superb.

If I wasn't at work right now I would so be using MS Paint to make this album cover.

Indeed. The photographer is known for using only natural models.

We want each breast tattooed with the opening marking for the respective movement: Allegretto, Moderato (poco allegretto), Adagio, and Allegro non troppo.

The idea of a breast marked Cheerful, but not too much . . . .

My step brother had a most ridiculous anglofro in the '70s... who's that guy on The Simpsons?
