Bizarre Album Covers

This one has mystified me ever since it appeared a few years ago - what has a deer in what looks like a multi-storey car park got to do with the Brandenburg Concertos?

Hunting horns?

The copy I had was of the 1983 reissue which had the picture of Norfolk or judging by the fact it isn't very flat - a picture by a Norfolk painter .

Indeed it is The strid , Bolton Abbey , Skipton by James Stark .

The CD has another picture altogether !

Looks like I had better rip and backup my Horenstein Mahler 4 CD.

Alfred Brendel - "I know you get stage fright, but not in the piano, please"

Alfred Brendel - "I know you get stage fright, but not in the piano, please"

Brendel: "Did you have to have that Garlic Gargonzola dish in the restaurant before the concert?"

This is something which has infuriated me, too, making me want to scream: "SOMEONE PLEASE RE-RELEASE ALL OF HORENSTEIN'S MAHLER!"

The only solution I have found is to download just that one symphony from the EMI set via Amazon. The Classical Shop have his Mahler 1 and Mahler 3 (Unicorn-Kanchana) to download, but I'm 'old school' and still would rather buy a disc.

I just tried the Amazon site. They don't offer any of the Horenstein Mahler Symphonies as mp3 except for the Vox recordings. I wonder if they have different offerings in the states vs Europe? At any rate I only like mp3s for portable headphone listening. Not sure what would be worse, my old scratchy lp that sounded
bad when new or an mp3 playing in the main system.

The Horenstein Mahler 3 is the best thing in this set by far. However, some of the other symphonies do not fare that badly:

Alfred Brendel - "I know you get stage fright, but not in the piano, please"

I was working on something similar

Also: "It's an A flat, Matthias.... (*squeezes harder*).... A FLAT...!!!!"

I just love Alfred's "Oliver Hardy" despairing look to camera...

"Alfred, where did you get the idea Bhut Jolokia would help my top notes? Oh, you made that up........"
