the IDEA
Classic Form for Classical Music
The visual solution is built on restrained typography, architectural photography, and strict black-and-white graphics. The design does not compete with the music, but works as its visual continuation: a traditional packaging form, a clear hierarchy of information, and a minimum of decorative elements.
the RECORDING
Album History and Recording Location
The album was recorded in July 2013 on the historic Harrison & Harrison organ (built in 1936) at St Leonard’s Church in Hythe, Kent, UK.
In Konstantin Volostnov’s discography, the album is listed as Great Organ Works, Vol. 2, catalog number KVCD-007; recording duration — 78 minutes 54 seconds.
the PACKAGING
Jewel Case, Booklet, and Visual System
A classic jewel case was selected for the release — standard plastic packaging for an audio CD with a transparent lid.
The cover features photographs of the interior and architectural details of St Leonard’s Church, linking the musical material with the space in which the album was recorded.
The set includes all print components, including a multi-page booklet with information about the artist, the recording, and the musical program in two languages.
10 YEARS LATER
FROM PHYSICAL TO DIGITAL
Transitioning the Project from Physical Medium to Digital
In 2024, the record label “Melodiya” released a digital album “Romantic Organ”, based on the 2013 recording. The album is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Music, Yandex Music, YouTube Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and others.
Thus, a work originally created for a physical CD release received its continuation years later in the digital environment.
