I like that one!

I agree with Scarpia.  It suggests to me a nice civilized 21st century start of the day--checking  email and Facebook and GMG while drinking the morning coffee and listening to good music.

The design is not horrible, but it looks like what it is: a stock photograph with a picture of C.P.E. Bach photoshopped onto the computer screen. I just think as a rule it's not a good idea to incorporate recent technology into a design for something that will be purchased several years from now. It dates.

Guess what! Volume 2 is on the way and it replaces that oldfangled computer with an iPad.

Either that is a tiny iPad, or those earphones are massive!

Exactly, that's why JSB didn't put a picture of a Harpsichord on the cover of the clavierubung.

There's a difference in that people are still using and restoring harpsichords, while computers made only 10 years ago (or less!) are lying in a scrap heap.

Maybe in 300 years historically informed gamers will be restoring IBM XT's to play Super Mario Brothers.

I loves me some Norrington, but the man looks more like a wacky comedian in most of his covers rather than a conductor.

Thanks for tuning in ladies and gentlemen to the Laugh Hour starring Roger Norrington and this man:

Stop presenting counter-examples and just admit I'm right!!

Happy times at the undertakers convention...

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

That is a really good recording - maybe my favorite recording of the Bartok sonata for two pianos and percussion. 

I believe you that the recording is good...the cover design however........

This is great. As much as I like the one on the left, I'd probably choose the one on the right if given the choice.
Probably because she reminds me of Mikuru:
