I definitely agree. As usual its a qestion of personal taste. The Korndorf cover on that site I find rather impressive and also the covers of the Denon Mahler and the EMI Matrix series are not that ugly (IMHO). In general, I do not rally care for the cover. Most CDs I order via internet, thus mostly I see the cover after I bought the CD. The only important issue for me is the musical content and I certainly would buy a terribly ugly CD which has a piece of music on it I am interested in. You think anybody would buy a classical CD just because of the cover or, leave it in the shelve because it has an ugly one? And if you have to choose between a couple of recordings of the same work I guess people rather look for the price and the musicians! Achim Breiling
