The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I was looking at this LP, just now and thought that there were rather few album sleeves like this one, just a landscape. But I expect you'll all show me I'm wrong. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertoart Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 That's kind of a variation on the theme actually. a close up intimate perspective. A shallow space. Kind of like a Bryan Ferry opus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Even I have one in my catalog: Nice! It's kind of like the Blue Note LT sleeves. Bill's comment Used to be a staple in classical LP covers. Pastoral Symphony, etc, etc ...put me in mind of this lovely LP, that I used to have back in the days when I thought I could afford black music and white music.

A Lark Ascending Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 This was the second classical LP I bought back in 1974 (a Sibelius 5 in the same series was the first). Always liked the scenes on the front of those covers that seemed to evoke the music. Not sure if this counts - there might be two people in the boat. Another one where cover and content were a perfect match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 HMV sleeve designers were particularly adept at picking paintings that matched the music. My favourite was Elgar's 'Dream of Gerontius' cond by Barbirolli, which used Joe Turner's 'Angel standing in the sun' on the cover. Is an angel people?

A Lark Ascending Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) I got most of my (rather limited) enjoyment of painting from those big classical LP sleeves. I was fascinated by the Mahler Kubelik series made up of sections of Klimt works - sometimes from works with people but you'd never know that from the cover. (I remember that Gerontius LP - though I ended up with the Boult version. I also had that RVW LP pictured earlier.) This was another favourite: And, from a bit further afield, another one of my early purchases: The only thing I miss about LPs is those 12 x 12 sleeves.

Always liked the scenes on the front of those covers that seemed to evoke the music. Different music evoked by different scene. Wasn't it Mingus who said that classical music depicts the world as it should be; jazz depicts it as it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Wasn't it Mingus who said that classical music depicts the world as it should be; jazz depicts it as it is? Just as well he stuck to music rather than philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
