AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 33 rpm vinyl record features the album "Fantaisie pour orgue et percussions" (Fantasy for organ and percussion) performed by Georges Montalba on grand organ, released under the Mode Disques label. The cover boasts a colorful visual with drums in the foreground and a background composed of brightly colored pipes, evoking the world of the organ. The main titles are displayed in large white letters, with "Fantaisie pour orgue et percussions" at the top of the jacket.

Among the works performed are "Danse Macabre" (Saint-Saëns), "Mascarade – Mazurka" (Khachaturian), "Marche Fantaisie", "Sur un marché persan" (Ketèlbey), "Thème de Shéhérazade" (Rimsky-Korsakov), "Danse rituelle du feu" (De Falla), and "Danses polovtsiennes" (Borodin). The composers' names are listed on the right side of the cover in a vertical column.

The visible side of the cover shows no major defects or excessive wear, but there is a slight mark of use on the edge and some superficial traces related to storage, common for this type of item. The colors remain vibrant and the printing is clear, highlighting the typical graphics of record productions from the second half of the 20th century.

The phrase "Georges Montalba aux grandes orgues" is printed in purple on the skin of a drum in the center, a striking graphic element of this edition. The "Mode disques" label logo appears at the bottom right, indicating the origin of this pressing.

The 33 rpm format ensures sound reproduction suitable for orchestral recordings and highlights the richness of the arrangements for organ and percussion, a relatively rare combination in the recorded classical repertoire.
