[Rockhounds] Prokofiev CD cover w/ minerals

[Axel Emmermann]

I haven't a clue, Kitty...

But: Cd-trio: 3 minerals?
There are two concerto's in a flat key on the CDs and minerals are often
bought in "flats". 
Prokofiev was kind of a rebel. Maybe the rocks are intended to show that he
was a rock-artists avant la letter ;-)))
Those are the only connections that I can see... 
Good music though. Play it loud.

Cheers

Axel
