Vivaldi: The Four Seasons LP by I Solisti di Zagreb, Antonio Janigro

This item is a vintage vinyl record (LP) featuring Antonio Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons,' performed by I Solisti di Zagreb with Antonio Janigro conducting and Jan Tomasow as soloist. The record is housed in a gatefold or conventional LP jacket, consistent with releases from the mid-20th century. The cover art is distinctive, featuring a bold red band across the top and bottom sections, contrasting with a lighter, possibly off-white or beige-colored central panel. The red sections prominently display the composer 'VIVALDI' and the title 'The Four Seasons' in elegant, possibly calligraphic, white or light-colored script. The central panel is adorned with four rectangular illustrations, visually representing the four seasons, rendered in a monochromatic or grayscale style against the lighter background. These illustrations depict various pastoral or allegorical scenes, such as figures with animals, landscapes, and architectural elements. The bottom red band lists the performing artists: 'I Solisti di Zagreb' and 'Antonio Janigro, conductor' with 'JAN TOMASOW' also noted. A circular logo, likely for 'The Bach Guild' (a subsidiary of Vanguard Records), is visible on the lower right corner of the red band, alongside the 'VANGUARD' label and what appears to be a catalog number or series identifier 'BG-544'. The overall condition of the jacket appears to show some minor wear consistent with age and handling, such as slight discoloration on the lighter central panel and possibly minor edge wear, though no significant damage like rips or creases are immediately evident from the image. This record likely dates from the 1950s or 1960s, given the Vanguard label's period of prominence for classical recordings.
