No explanation; but I really like this cover:

Heartily agreed on both counts.

Anyway, great music.

If I look directly at it, she's clearly holding her bow in her left hand.

But if I look elsewhere in the photo, my brain interprets it as a dog leash.

My brain worries she will drop the no doubt expensive violin.
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.

Quote from: Pohjolas Daughter on February 17, 2023, 07:26:04 AMI love the one with the lion in it; trying to remember where I've seen that cover before?  Perhaps someone mentioned it in the vinyl thread some years ago?

PD

Page 4 of this thread.  ;D

Lovely music, yes, but - dare I say it - a rather banal cover. I find it very "posé", unnatural, stiff. A still from an (oldfashioned...) fashion magazine... :o

Ensemble Giardino di delizie has more and imho- better photographs - on its website
Giardino di delizie

Enough. I dont' want to nitpick. Enjoy the music.

Yes that picture makes me nervous!  Nothing like perching a priceless, irreplaceable baroque violin on a ledge surrounded by hard concrete and rocks just for a photo that most listeners would only look at once (especially if streaming).

I'm sure dropping the violin into the fountain wouldn't be much of an improvement either!

Turnabout had a cover style all of their own.





Odd placement of the cellist.

I had this when it was new and always liked the cover. I can understand the bad press it got, but you just have to think of it as a Weather Report solo project rather than the kind of albums Wayne Shorter released in the 60s.

The Giltburg/Petrenko LvB PC 3 & 4 CD I ordered last week landed today and I discovered it (and it seems, the other two CDs in the seried) uses a different cover image than the standard soloist-and-conductor-together image used for the listings at Amazon, Presto, etc.

The image on my copy is a mountain landscape photo attributed to Giltburg himself.
I don't see it on the web now, but I did find this one for PCs 1 & 2.

Quote from: absolutelybaching on March 11, 2023, 12:34:33 PMTwo of my favourites.

The Grimes, because it's misty, moody and very evocative.
The Wingrave, because it sets the scene in a country house, is very 1970s, and is a John Piper.
Hadn't heard of John Piper before now.  Interesting to read a bit about him on Wiki.  Appears to have been a multi-talented artist.  Do you have any of his prints?
