Same cover - different disc

[Brian]

Found another one!



to go with:

[Opus106]

And while not the same painting,...




Is it a well-known visual theme of the time, or something?

[Kontrapunctus]

I know this painting is used on a classical cover, but I can't find it it my collection! (I'm pretty sure it was on EMI.)


FYI, the band is Morbid Angel...

There is simply no accounting for the essentially literal mindset of our art pickers in the business if that disk is anything other than Tartini's 'Devil's Trill Sonata'.   

[Kontrapunctus]

Got it! Rattle's Turangalila Symphony.

[Wanderer]

Got it! Rattle's Turangalila Symphony.

...and I immediately thought of this:



(among the highlights of Howard's Liszt project, btw)

[Opus106]

And it's not even a famous painting.

[TheGSMoeller]

[Dancing Divertimentian]

I think probably the king of repeat covers is this one, owing to the Rachmaninov piece. Here are a couple I know of. Any others?

[Brian]

Here ya go!

The Nimbus release which says "Digital" on it, sure IS digital.  Looks like the cover has been photo-shopped in a light sharpening, colour enhancing fashion.  However, the Hyperion release is next on my purchase list, because the cover matches the theme of its contents "Soul and Landscape" - and also it's got Rangstrom on it!

It's good too.

[The new erato]

Seems to be a couple of versions involved.

Seems to be a couple of versions involved.

And directly linked, too.   One movement of Reger's Bocklin-Suite is "The Isle of the Dead" (and was written only a couple of years after Rachmaninov's);  Bocklin himself painted five different versions of it, which no doubt is the reason why the CD covers look slightly different.  You can find all five (one in a b/w photograph--the original was destroyed in WWII) at Wikipedia, together with a photo of the island which supposedly provided Bocklin with a visual model, and an extended list of literary references and some other musical works, classical and rock,  linked to the painting.

Trivial fact of the day I didn't want to know:
This was Hitler's favorite painting, and he personally owned the third version, which now hangs in a Berlin museum--it's the one which apparently provided the basis of the Capriccio cover art.

Here's another one with the Böcklin painting:

I think this is only the second artist picture series, after the Daniele Gatti Tchaikovsky covers on page 1.

Well, and the cat's just back, to drag these two in:

You mean no one's gotten around to posting those covers of Daniel "Fedora" Barenboim?

We could also have a different cover same recording thread that is just as fruitful if not more so.

[Opus106]

That's simply the collected catalogues of EMI, Universal and Sony.
