Description Classical music audio CD presented in a standard jewel case, with an illustrated front cover. The cover features a bust portrait of Charles Ives, against a backdrop of a bustling street scene, likely a parade or popular gathering, typical of early 20th-century America. The visual combines sepia photography for the portrait and a faded color image for the background, creating a sharp visual contrast and a sober aesthetic, consistent with classic editions from prestige labels.

The CD is identified at the top of the cover by the following clearly legible inscriptions: "CHARLES IVES Holidays Symphony The Unanswered Question • Central Park In The Dark Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Chorus MICHAEL TILSON THOMAS"

The top right corner of the cover displays a medallion adorned with a blue and red ribbon, stating "DIGITAL RECORDING" and "WESTMINSTER", indicating a digital edition from the Westminster label. The entire visible side appears to be in good condition, with the transparent plastic case showing no visible cracks or major scratches on this side.

The overall design of the cover evokes the graphic codes of classic editions from the late 20th century, with sober typography and a layout centered on the work and its performers.

Condition Used item sold as is. The visible side of the cover and case shows no major apparent defects in the photo. The condition of the disc and non-visible sides is not guaranteed here.
