When I started this thread, I really didn't emphasize my impressions of the Mutter cd cover, but since the responses have been "light-years" away from those impressions, I'd like to be frank about it. Mutter has developed into a superb violinist and a beautiful and enticing woman. Her cd cover is probably the most enticing cover I've seen this decade in a classical cd. Mutter makes other female artists I've favorably commented on concerning their physical features look ho-hum. CD covers may generally be trivial in comparison to the music, but the look of a beautiful/alluring woman is never trivial to me, whether it's on a cd cover, in a magazine, or in the flesh (which is the best source).
