 5.1 Remastered? January 10, 2009
I got this to test out my DTS HD 7.1 sound system and my new Panasonic DMP BD55 player (great -- from Amazon). The packing looks like something you would buy on the street in Shanghai. The paperwork liner is sketchy and cheap. What intrigues me is the phrase (which IS included in the Amazon ad info -- and I missed): "PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RECORD WAS ORIGINALLY PRODUCED FOR 5.1 AND PRESENTED FOR 7.1 SURROUND SOUND REPRODUCTION TO PROVIDE YOU WITH UNIQUE ACOUSTIC REALITY EXPERIENCE." The music is fine and it drives all 7 speakers and subwoofer but I have a feeling this is an "upconverted/remastered" recording. I also got the similarly packaged and documented Mozart "DTS-HD Master Audio Disk" recording for a total of $45. Is there any "native mastered DTS-HD" (my terminology) available? Three stars because I am suspicious.
 most impressive Four Seasons I've ever heard on a recording December 3, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Yes, there's no question that this is a fun--and exciting and entertaining--70-plus minutes with some of Vivaldi's most familiar and, in the case of the program's last two double concertos, newly recorded for surround sound reproduction. I'll even go so far as to say that this is the most impressive Four Seasons I've ever heard on a recording. Pick your spot--tune in wherever you like. Try the Summer concerto's "Presto": you've never heard its scurrying scales played with such dazzling fury. Or listen to Winter's opening Allegro: you'll get chills even if it's 90 degrees outside. The superior engineering on this Blu-ray disc allows us to hear the often-luxurious array of instrumental timbres with far greater clarity and sonic richness, In this case, the label has succeeded in every way, producing a DTS-HD version that boasts lustrous string sound, weighty but clear bass, and excellent performances of these violin concertos. The sound is warm, present, very well balanced, and happily not excessively biased toward the rear channels in 7.1. So if you're looking for a splendid new Vivaldi that offers superior artistic values and excellent lossless surround sonics, this is definitely the one to get.
