Description

This audio CD features Antonio Vivaldi’s "Stabat Mater," performed by Andreas Scholl with Ensemble 415, conducted by Chiara Banchini. The disc is released by the Harmonia Mundi France label, as seen on the front cover, with the reference number 901571 clearly indicated. The item is presented in a standard CD jewel case with a clear front, revealing a cover visual illustrated by an artistic representation of the Virgin Mary and another female figure, in a classical pictorial style with blue, green, beige, and pale pink tones.

The cover prominently displays, in white lettering on a black background, the composer’s name "VIVALDI," the work's title "Stabat Mater," as well as the main performers: "ANDREAS SCHOLL," "ENSEMBLE 415," and "CHIARA BANCHINI." The Harmonia Mundi logo appears in the upper right, accompanied by "FRANCE" and the reference number. The visual aspect of the cover is understated and elegant, with a dominance of dark hues contrasted by the vibrancy of the central illustration.

The case visible in the photo shows a typical glossy surface of plastic CD cases, with some superficial marks and scratches noticeable on the front, signs of previous handling or use. No major chips are visible on the front, and the overall structure of the case appears intact in the visible area of the image. The left edge of the case, also visible, is solid black, with no apparent inscription on that specific side.

The photo does not show the back, the disc itself, or any inner booklet; only the front cover is visible, well-centered in its case. The ensemble presents a classic aesthetic, suited to baroque music and the target audience of classical music enthusiasts and ancient repertoire. The printing details, color contrast, and visual quality attest to a meticulous edition characteristic of Harmonia Mundi.
