Me-too Mutter says, please design my album
mainAnna Netrebko started the trend.
Now her label-sister Anne-Sophie Mutter follows suit:
I’d like to invite you all to join me in the creation process of my upcoming album on Deutsche Grammophon. I’ve come up with a track list and a title. Now I’d be thrilled if I could open up the floor to you for the album cover design. Join the contest on 99designs!
It would be more interesting if she had asked the public to choose the track list.
LOL. Red Violin, Phantom of the Opera, whatever “violin song” some gymnast just used in her Olympic floor-exercise routine…
Sadly true.
So the designer works for free, then? PR and production-cost-saving at the same time for DG.
Apart from all this and the opportunism … here is an interview that’s worth reading between her and Bruce Duffie in Chicago but not one I personally typed up so have only read it …

Enjoy!
The hustlers are ever with us . One might suggest to DG an over stuffed
foam filled dress might do the trick .Doesn’t one just love in above photo how carefully
the violin is positioned,something for every one to admire .
