I go with Rodrigo here!  Those covers are just super!  Also I wanted to
chime in I am partial to te paitings of Gustav Klimt, so to add more Mahler
to this, I think NAXOS made an excellent choice for their Mahler cycle,
also fitting as the two Gustavs knew each other, and artistically were a
part of the same new movement:  "Jugend".  Then one can think whay - with
a - are NAXOS covers so sterile made with these white fields? If they sized
up their images to cover the whole cover and printed the infotext on the
image it would do much better.  I hope Klaus Heymann is on the list so he
can see my suggestion....but maybe it is too late to break a tradition
NOW...

P.S. If Heymann now is here, I want to say (except in covers): GOOD JOB
NAXOS!! D.S.
