Well....I really must say that I can really find no reason why anyone should criticize the small artwork on the Naxos covers. After all, here we are saving a bundle of money on a budget label buying DDD recordings of great performances. Does the artwork really matter?? Would you prefer to spend 2 dollars more per CD so that the cover looks nice? Something tells me that you wouldn't. I know I sure wouldn't. It harkens back to the old saying 'never judge a book by its cover'...in other words....it's what's inside that counts. Seems to me a pretty simple concept. I surely hope none of you decide to write to HNH(Naxos) requesting a more elaborately decorated cover. I don't look forward to spnding the extra money. Wes Crone
