Customer Reviews
Excellent in all respects
This performance of the Brandenburg concertos is STUNNING. Abbado's direction and every single performance in this production will leave you agog. I simply had never heard such a wonderful and flawless rendition anywhere, period. The video is simply gorgeous. The audio was also fabulous. As to the reviewer that commented that the audio is not high definition, that statement is absolutely incorrect, there is a 5.1 uncompressed PCM track which is absolutely perfect! Strongly recommended!
Misleading Audio
This is essentially a DVD that has High Res Video Content but standard DVD-V quality audio content. I have checked the packaging and the advertising content on Amazon after having purchased the disc and they are very coy about hiding this info.
The Video content is stunning and I second the comments previously made.
My dissapointment is that I bought it hoping to have High Res audio content. As a DVD-V audio format it doesn't begin to compare sonically to several "Red Book" audio CDs that I own of the same music.
So if you like watching classical music in high def video but a low def audio eperience, this is for you. I would have hoped for more truth in advertising.
I will be sticking with SACD as the prefered high res audio format for classical music.
Bach Brandenburg on Blu-ray
This is an excellent DVD from start to finish. Its all well played, filmed, and recorded. With the Blu-ray version you can read the time on the first horn's wrist watch, in Roman Numerals! There are a couple of places where the sound is not quite in sync with the video. This is very minor, not distracting, and was probably due to some editing or patch work that needed to be done. You have to be watching very closely to spot it.
The best players are used throughout and are well guided by Maestro Abbado. Be sure to watch the last movement of the #2 concerto played a second time as an encore. Piccolo trumpet Reinhold Friedrich nails it both times taking the last note up to a high F during the encore!
This is a very exciting DVD. You will be as glad to own it as I am.
