Originally posted by RichardB View PostSurely you know that all those covers feature photographs by Steve McCurry, of people from all over the world, which I imagine is intended to symbolise the universality of Bach's music, questionable though that may be as a concept. JEG's use of paintings by Howard Hodgkin for his Brahms series is also a bit incongruous, but at least McCurry's photos and Hodgkin's paintings are actually artworks in their own right, which can't be said for clarinettist Virgil Blackwell snapping Maestro Carter at his birthday party.
