Anyone remember the RCA LP album of Koussevitsky and the Boston Symphony,
et al.  performing Beethoven's Ninth? It featured three kids (maybe more),
all thin, all clothed in clothes resembling rags, standing in some ruins,
that might have been current ruins or more ancient ones.  At the time I
thought it an ugly cover.  Nostalgia has now mellowed it in my opinion and
it might even have been an appropriate cover for the Bernstein "Freiheit"
version of that Symphony played after the Berlin Wall came down.
