Year’s worst album cover rises in the charts

Year’s worst album cover rises in the charts

Here’s this week’s Applce Classical streaming top ten, released exclusively on slippedisc.

The fastest rising entrant is a confection of Beethoven for piano trio. On its ghastly cover, Yo Yo Ma looks like Gustav Mahler, Kavakos is a spinsterish music teacher and Emanuel Ax is simply faceless – a Waspish frat boy. Some smart guys at Sony must have thought this was a good likeness.

Wonder who?

Chart:

1 Tchaikovsky: The Seasons Yunchan Lim

2 Sleep Max Richter

3 Beethoven for Three Yo-Yo Ma, Leonidas Kavakos, Emanuel Ax

4 J. S. Bach: Sonatas for Violin Isabelle Faust, Kristin von der Goltz, Kristian Bezuidenhout

5 Still & Bonds: Symphonies The Philadelphia Orchestra, Yannick Nézet-Séguin
