Are the following 11 record covers--Simon Trpčeski, Janine Jansen, Chiaroscuro Quartet, Bryn Terfel, Giuliano Carmignola, Riccardo Chailly, Alice Coote, Yundi, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Daniel Behle, Tine Thing Helseth--really the worst classical album covers of all time?

Dunno. That's hard to say.

Proper Discord certainly seems to think they're bad. (Run by the former head of classical music at iTunes--not to mention erstwhile COO of Naxos--that blogger would surely have seen some tripe.)

For the record, Classicalite does think these 11 album covers are pretty bad. Indeed.

We just thought a slight re-ordering of their terribleness would be more, err, proper.
