Description
This audio CD features Gustav Mahler's "Symphony No. 4," performed by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Eliahu Inbal. The case, visible in the photo, is a standard, transparent jewel case with a plastic front showcasing a graphic predominantly white cover. The cover displays a stylized portrait of Gustav Mahler in black and red, against a light background, with a minimalist graphic design typical of some late 20th-century designs. "PCM DIGITAL" is inscribed at the top left, indicating a digital recording, while the "DENON" logo appears at the top right on a red band, accompanied by the reference "33C37-7952".
The main title "GUSTAV MAHLER SYMPHONY No. 4" is clearly legible on the cover, as is the conductor's name "ELIAHU INBAL" at the bottom of the cover. Secondary mentions such as "FRANKFURT RADIO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA" and "HELEN DONATH" (soprano, not included in the keywords) are also visible, confirming the authenticity and quality of this edition. The overall visual is enhanced by a red dot on the right, a distinctive graphic element of this series of Denon recordings.
The spine of the case and the front appear in good overall condition in the photo, with slight normal wear for an old disc, without major cracks or visible chips. The cover and case reflect a sober design, typical of classic editions from the 1980s-1990s, which reinforces the "vintage" positioning mentioned in the keywords.
The CD appears complete with its visible front cover and original case. The visual does not allow for viewing the back, the inner booklet, or the condition of the disc itself; only the front and spine are observable in the provided image. No major defects are apparent on the visible part, the transparency of the case revealing a slight reflection on the table surface.
This compact disc thus offers a sought-after version of Mahler by Inbal, particularly appreciated for the sound quality provided by Denon's PCM Digital recording, a label renowned for its audiophile productions in classical music.
Condition
Used item, sold in used condition as seen in the photo. The overall condition of the case and front cover is good, with no major apparent defects on the side shown.
Did you know? Denon was one of the first labels to utilize PCM digital recording technology for classical music starting in the late 1970s, thus offering increased dynamic range and sound precision compared to traditional analog recordings. The series conducted by Eliahu Inbal in Frankfurt are now recognized as discographic benchmarks for Mahler's work.
