Wagner: Der Ring des Nibelungen (Decca, 2012) Contributed by james millner on Feb 11th, 2019. Artwork published in circa September 2012. Source: https://www.musik-sammler.de © Decca.

For the issue of another set of remastered recordings in 2012, Decca Classics gave it a new design, featuring illustrations by Yann Legendre with type in ITC Black Tulip and Baskerville. Previous packaging of what’s generally agreed to be the classical recording of the [20th] century has featured everything from blackletter to uncial, from ITC Avant Garde Gothic to Belwe, as the product has shrunk from 22 vinyl LPs to 16 CDs to a stream of bits from iTunes.
