A MIXED BAG THAT IN THE END DISAPPOINTS!
This is not an easy review. There are some real issues with this performance and especially with the DVD quality! I expect more in quality from DECCA.
1) I am very disappointed with the Video part of this production. The picture just fills only 3/4 of my HD screen. Definition is very poor with many blurring problems. When singers in bright costumes move too fast a ghostly blur follows them. Lighting is far too dark at times and one can barely see the singers at times. This is picturewise a less than good video recording. In fact I have some private DVDS with much better picture and sound production.
2) The Sound Quality is not that great either. It's muffled or muted much of the time. The excellent Weiner Philharmoniker is too much in the background.
3) The Sets are okay; just not inspired. Set changes often are way too long and the viewer sits in his/her living room in total darkness and wonders if the DVD is having problems or has stopped. These long pauses...
