For some reason, I first read that as Beach Motets.
Beethoven's Op. 133 -- A fugue so bad that even Beethoven himself called it "Grosse".

Of course! He's at the Bach. (Listening to The Bach Boys.)

[Warning: Different pun coming up]

And when he's finished getting the sand out of his pants, he'll go home and run a nice hot Bach.

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

How to fill up a picture the easy way:

There's nothing like four arrows pointing to a large red dot to let you know what you'll be listening to:



In this case it's Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Mozart, Haydn, and other arrow-and-red-dot-related composers.

I love the image though, I'm guessing it's Philippe Petit

And I think the photo is by Jean Blondeau.

BTW, I like that Ravel cover.  It  conveys the bizarro dream content of the opera quite well, and among the characters are a teapot and a Chinese teacup.

A human lightening rod by the look of that stormy sky! ;D

"Treffpunkt". Meeting place, or more literally meeting point.

EDIT: Which appears to be the name of a German classical music radio show. No doubt this is what the PERFORMANCES are related to.

Honestly, PPP, you could do a little homework, especially when there's foreign language writing on the cover.
I am now working on a discography of the works of Vagn Holmboe. Please visit and also contribute!

I did. I fired up Google Translate, entered "Treffpunkt" and it said "Meeting place".

I then entered "Treffpunkt Klassik", and it said "Classical meeting place". I said "OK."

But I still saw four arrows pointing to a large red dot on the cover of an album featuring the music of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Mozart, Haydn and other composers. Even if that's where they're all meeting, I have a lot of trouble associating composers with large red dots (and arrows).
