Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

Yes I like the work, and others, by Fernand Leger.

Not someone I'm familiar with actually, but a quick search shows much worth exploring.

This might be of interest to you, then.

You must have a very good opinion of yourself to write a symphony - John Ireland.

I opened the door people rushed through and I was left holding the knob - Bo Diddley.

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.

I like the cover art (and music).

I find this to be a terrific presentation and arrangement. It is very intimate and emotion laden. It is also wonderfully conversational in nature. There is also great tension to be felt throughout.

I think Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra could have a "Best Looking" thread all of it's own. There are so many!

Never mind the artwork, a great recording.

I must agree!
The last one is not Concerto for Orchestra.

The Dorati cover doesn't do much for me; however, I really like the Naxos and think it's hurt by the Naxos design, i.e., occupying less than half of a CD cover. If I had that painting as a full-sized LP cover, I might hang it on my wall.

(Not sure it actually says, 'Bartok' to me, but that's another matter.)


Anybody know the painter?
