AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This audio CD features a color illustrated cover, showing a bonsai on a blue background, typical of the aesthetic of Erato's "Bonsai Collection" label. On the front, the inscriptions are clear and legible: "Mendelssohn," "Symphonies n° 4 & n° 5," with the subtitles "Italian" and "Reformation." The CD also includes the overture to "A Midsummer Night's Dream," performed by the English Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Raymond Leppard.

The green Erato label logo appears at the top left of the cover, accompanied by the total recording duration (69:37). The mention "Collection Bonsai" is at the bottom left, followed by the reference ECD 55021. The graphic design of the cover is understated, with a predominantly white background and typographic elements in green, black, and red, contrasting with the photograph of the bonsai. The standard transparent plastic case allows the front insert to be seen.

In the central part, the name of conductor Raymond Leppard and the English Chamber Orchestra are clearly indicated in capital letters. The overall presentation is faithful to the classic productions of the Erato label from the 1990s, with a balanced layout and a classical musical aesthetic.

No information on the condition of the back, the disc itself, or the inner booklet is visible in the image. Only the front of the case is shown. No major defects, scratches, or cracks are apparent on the visible side of the plastic case, although slight signs of wear may be noticeable on the edges, typical of a used CD.
