Guglielmi is great, and a very nice person. His, and the recordings of other Italian and French players currently contribute much more interesting new aspects to Bach's music than the Germans!

With thousands of releases obviously there are also platters with quality/decent cover art .... but in general I dare to say, that DG - having a self-image being a (the ?) toplabel for classical music - never cared too much about cover art .... and obviously they could afford it ....
