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?
