Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition & Borodin: Symphony No. 2(2007)
A true celebration, ushering in the New Year with one of the finest orchestras and greatest conductors in the world. For more about Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition & Borodin: Symphony No. 2 and the Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition & Borodin: Symphony No. 2 Blu-ray release, see the Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition & Borodin: Symphony No. 2 Blu-ray Review Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition & Borodin: Symphony No. 2 Blu-ray, Video QualityNo, you did not misread the video codec specs above, and in fact I did not enter it incorrectly. This EuroArts release utilizes the relatively ancient MPEG-2 compression codec to deliver an actually surprisingly sharp and detailed image, albeit in 1080i (and an aspect ratio of 1.78:1). This television presentation opts for a rather large number of close-ups, and these reveal and really staggering amount of detail at times. Look, for example, at the bodies of the string instruments, and you will be able to see each band of wood which was assembled and then lacquered. Light glances off of a flute with piercing acuity (and in fact there are a couple of moments of refraction throughout this concert). The interlaced video does present a few passing issues, mostly with the hanging microphone cords, which dissolve into aliasing a couple of times. Otherwise, this is a very pleasingly sharp, colorful, presentation which is well directed and provides a lot of visual variety to keep the eye, as well as the ear, entertained. Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition & Borodin: Symphony No. 2 Blu-ray, Audio QualityI typically don't opt for this choice, but for some reason I found this Blu-ray's lossless stereo mix, in LPCM 2.0, a bit more robust than the just slightly diffuse surround mix, in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. Don't get me wrong, these two lossless offerings are both practically perfect in every way, with sterling fidelity and a lot of "oomph" on the low end especially, but (probably due to nothing more than personal taste), I preferred the narrower soundfield of the stereo mix this time out. Whatever your personal preference may be, you're in for a sonic treat with these incredibly colorful scores. The Five of course relished in "Orientalism," filling their scores with clanging glockenspiels, and massed woodwinds, punctuated with outbursts from the brass, and it's all caught here with brilliant clarity. Dynamic range is exceptional, and interior lines are always easily discernable. Both of these lossless offerings show off not only the brilliant playing of the Berlin Philharmonic, but the aural potential for Blu-ray in and of itself.
