CD comes packaged in a standard plastic jewel case, and includes an 8-page booklet with notes in English.

NOTE: Cover front sleeve lists the works presented as: Zapata: Images for Orchestra; Columbus: Images for Orchestra; Reflections; Discovery. The back sleeve gives Reflejos instead of Reflections, and Divertimentos instead of Discovery. That "Discovery" on the front cover to name the fourth work on the CD is most likely an error, as the title of the disc includes the word "Discovery". Balada's Divertimentos (Diversions) are just that, three divertimentos for string orchestra.
