Description

Classical music audio CD titled "Les Grands Airs Italiens" (Great Italian Arias), performed by baritone José Van Dam, accompanied by the Orchestre Philharmonique des Pays de Loire conducted by Marc Soustrot. The case shown is a standard jewel case for CDs, with a color jacket featuring an artistic portrait of José Van Dam on the cover. The typeface is classic, typical of musical editions, and the overall presentation evokes late 20th-century productions, without contemporary graphic elements.

The front of the jacket lists the composers and works performed: Puccini ("La Bohème", "L'Uccellino"), Verdi ("Nabucco", "Attila", "Don Carlos", "Rigoletto"), Donizetti ("Lucrezia Borgia"), Rossini ("William Tell", "The Barber of Seville"), Boïto ("Mefistofele"), Giordano ("Gérard's Monologue") and Leoncavallo ("Pagliacci"). The titles are given in French, accompanied by an English and German translation.

The "Forlane" label appears on the jacket, along with the mention "Le Beau Musical". The transparent case reveals the black edge of the CD support, typical of original editions. No major flaws are visible in the photo: the jacket appears clean, without tears, and the plastic of the case shows no apparent cracks. The natural light highlights the print quality of the jacket and the delicate drawing of the portrait.

The reference to "Artiste Lyrique de l'Année" (Lyric Artist of the Year) and the "Peretti" signature on the jacket indicate a carefully crafted edition, aimed at lovers of great voices and classical interpretations. The whole is presented on a wooden surface, in a brightly lit interior setting, which highlights the vintage aspect and the preservation of the object.

The item includes: 1 crystal CD case, 1 color printed jacket, 1 disc (disc presence assumed but not visible in the photo). No inner booklet is visible in the provided image.
