"The photographs of Bartoli commissioned to accompany "Sacrificium" are as striking as the music on the CD. Playing with the theme of gender confusion inherent in the topic, the photographer Uli Weber placed Bartoli's head, her face whitened with makeup, atop various marble statues of men."

This is most certainly, STILL, one of the Top3 most startling Classical CD Covers. Can someone 'open' it?:

It's a great disc! And the cover is the main character from the opera, Platée.

Still frightening, yes. But not as egnimatic as the celestial deer peeing on a naked women.

Peeing from an eye. On a naked pregnant woman.

These little details matter, dear Sock Monkey.

I know, I was short on time. Thought I at least hit the important details.

More photos than cover art, but definitely worth a look or three.

I'll double post this

Gov. Blagojevich made a disc?

Bloomin Onion made a recording.

This actually was a fad for a while among German orchestras to take group pictures from the pooping pigeon perspective. Aachen is just about 7 years late in catching on.

What's wrong with that? This might actually be the first cover featuring Dudamel that I sort of like!

"Fiesta" has a perfectly good cover.

It's a fine cover if you like to watch people puke.

How about a thread for cool looking covers? Why all the negativity with bad covers? We know they're in abundance when classical music is concerned.

Perhaps this one?

speaking as someone who actually has the recording--it's a very nice effect of photograph combined with water color or ink wash.  The water color effect is carried through on the interior labeling.   The colors are rather mellow--nothing harsh about them.

BTW, I've posted about this CD when I first played it:  it's a very good recording,  definitely Dudamel's best Mahler, and one of his best overall, and a very good recording of M9 from any conductor.  If you don't like the cover, download it and print out your own CD cover.
