Thanks Tom. I'm falling behind a little, still haven't even bought the Bach. I listened to one of the Mozarts and the Glazunov just yesterday. She is AWESOME! Glad to see she is back on Pentatone after Decca folded.

I have to say that guy she's with looks a little light in his loafers... OK, OKI admit, I'm a little jealous...

Rich,

Just to make you feel a little better, I don't really think she is actually "with" him. The cover definitely looks like a Photoshop blending of two different photographs. If you look closely at the shadows cast by each of them they are not falling in a way that is conisitant with a single light source. Even if they had different studio lights on each of them, as close as they are standing there would be spillover from the different lights producing a more homogeneous shadow pattern. I am pretty sure this was two differnt shot digitally combined to make the cover.

So not to worry, I don't think she's cheating on you. :thumb:

My favs are the solo Bach, Russian Concertos, Tchaikovsky. I bet the Schubert CDs are great too, next on my list. Recording quality on Pentatone is great. Interpretations are excellent - smart and exciting.
