The Austrian piano virtuoso Rudolf Buchbinder, a known expert for Mozart plays and conducts three of Mozart’s most beloved piano concertos together with the Staatskapelle Dresden, where he was the first pianist to hold the title of “Capell-Virtous”. In advance to an extensive tour to Germany, Europe and Asia the concert was recorded in Dresden in an unique setting, being the first ultra-high definition recording of this work: especially for this purpose a stage was set up right inside the Gläserne Manufaktur, a luxury car manufacturer in the heart of the city of Dresden. Review: A Technical and Artistic Triumph! - My First Impression, listening on Sennheiser HD650 Headphones powered by a 1 Watt Musical Fidelity (Tube/Valve) Headphone Amp and watching my little 46" Sony TV, was of the most vibrant readings of ANY Mozart Piano Concertos I have experienced in my 75 years on Planet Earth. Let's hope this Team will do ALL of Mozart's Piano Concertos on Blu-Ray, and eventually release them on 4K / UHD when that technology matures and becomes affordable. Buchbinder and his Team play with a Precision and Passion which exceeds any other small orchestra I've heard and seen on Blu-Ray. Well done! NOTE: There are a couple of Negative Reviews on desertcart.com indicating EXTREMELY poor Audio. Sorry, but even with my Bryston 1,000 Watt Monoblock 28BSST(Squared) Amplifiers driving a pair Quad 2905 Electrostatics (Ultra-Revealing!) I can only say that what you see is what you hear: A VW Assembly Line setting with lots of Glass and Canadian Maple Hardwood Floors - it's bright, but not objectionable! My Digital-To-Analog Converter is the Bryston BDA-2, and I'm sure the new BDA-3 will make it even smoother, once I can afford it... Better haul out, dust off, and fire up your old Tube Amps, Gentlemen, or invest in a better DAC! NOTE #2 You will notice that this Blu-Ray is the first one Recorded in 4K, both Audio & Video, and it will probably be one of the first to be released when 4K (aka UHD, or Ultra High Definition) comes on the Market. Note # 3 (Nov 5th/2016) I recently discovered that True UHD isn't just double the # of Pixels, it also includes a wider range of Colours, for more colour Accuracy. Personally, I feel that Blu-Ray (1080 Progressive/1080p) is a Moving Target, as it seems to include steady improvements in Audio & Video. My advice is to keep going with Blu-Ray until you see and hear a dramatic improvement with True UHD, and prices of Software & Hardware are more reasonable. More of this anon, once my Friends and I have had a chance to get over the initial shock of this spectacular new level of Mozart Performance! I would have to assume that Mozart is looking down from his corner of Musical Heaven and grinning from ear to ear... Review: Five Stars - A good performance

Great performance, beautiful sound
Don't let the nay sayers about sound quality stop you from buying this wonderful BR. Yes it is recorded in a high tech auto manufacturing plant, but, there are a LOT of machines and equipment to break up the sound. I heard no standing waves or glare at all, and I have a serious HiFi rig (Conrad-Johnson, Burmester, Infinity, SMSL). It is a bright recording but not objectionably so. The Germans know what they are doing with recording. Buy with confidence.

Produto Sofrível
Meio decepcionante. A sala de concerto é uma fábrica mal arranjada de automóveis e o som deixa a desejar.
