AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

45 rpm vinyl record presented with its original sleeve, released by Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft under reference 30 099. This record features two major works from the violin repertoire: "Zigeunerweisen" by Pablo de Sarasate and "Hejre Kati (Csárdás)" by Jenő Hubay. The sleeve boasts a colorful and expressive visual: on the left, a stylized illustration of a dancer in traditional costume, against a backdrop of Gypsy caravans, and on the right, a black and white photo of violinist Helmut Zacharias. The bottom of the sleeve shows some visible creases, marks, and signs of wear on the surface, particularly on the edges and corners.

The upper yellow section of the sleeve contains the main printed information: names of composers (Pablo de Sarasate, Jenő Hubay), titles of works, performer (Helmut Zacharias, violin), conductor (Ferenc Fricsay), orchestra (Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra), and the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft logo. The mention "45 Artistique EP Haute Fidélité" indicates a quality pressing intended for classical music enthusiasts.

The sleeve design is typical of European productions from the late 1950s to early 1960s, blending vibrant illustration and artist photography, with an elegant layout. The dominant colors are bright yellow for the header, black and grey tones for the photographic part, and vivid shades (red, green, turquoise) for the illustration.

The vinyl record itself is not visible in the photo; only the sleeve is shown, with its printing details and signs of age. No information about the condition of the vinyl or the presence of the record is verifiable from the image.
