The cover is only slightly more disturbing than the fact that it's an album of piano/tuba duets.

Is this classical music? Is there actual literature for this or these arrangements?

Kullervo

Yet another awful Scriabin cover.

...........................WHAT THE SHIT??

For once, I will fully agree, even in the phrasing. Whoever came up with this cover would surely give a Freudian psychoanalyst hours and hours of pleasure. >:D

In a recent interview (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071005/music_nm/classical_dc;_ylt=Ag2b4LfZls3alc9mLT_UTDOXExkF), Canadian soprano says "In pop music, great presentation sometimes camouflages inferior product. But we in classical music have the greatest product in the world. But as we all well know, there are so many truly crappy classical music album covers out there. Why? People see you before they hear you, so why wouldn't you try not to start out with a deficit?"

And yet:

Here's the cover of her new Schoenberg/Satie/Bolcolm disc:

HAHAHAHA!!!

That cover suggests to me a sort of Corrin Bailey Ray classical crossover, with all the horrible things that would imply.  :o

To be fair, even the cheapest pop album cover wouldn't be seen dead with curtains in that shade...

Someone at my forum commented:  "one good sneeze, and one of her "girls" is going to make a big impression in the music world. But where is the other one? I don't care for photos that make a person look deformed."

I was just listening to this:

I am not sure if this is a cool cover or if they blew it (I generally like the cover for these series a lot, the Bartok 2 CD in particular)

Absolutely horrible cover "art".  :-X I was interested of de Larrocha's playing but I can't buy a CD that ugly. I can't.  :-[
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

That is a beautiful CD, cover and otherwise. But the RCA is Granados only. I think there is another version with a painting of a young girl as well. Let me find it
