not that you would do... but this forum wouldn't really encourage that type of attitude, which is why I'd prefer to be over here.

I'm not openly critical very often Sean, but in my view, the photographer is an over-indulged, opinionated twit.
Lol ! Good one!

^^ Fergus, I like them greatly. I also have the accompanying set with the first two piano trios on my listening pile. I think the Florestan Trio are an excellent outfit :-)

^^ evocative cover as well, Darren... I wish more classical covers were like that, rather than being artist/ personality driven.

Yes, sometimes I find artist driven ones offputting (even if some of the ladies look very pretty ;-))

Hyperion seem to be especially good at selecting cover images which echo the mood of the music contained therein...
