Title: Not worth the money...
Product review: This is a very disappointing set. The images are a little blurry and have not been cleaned up for transfer to DVD. The synchronization of picture and sound is off in many places in an annoyingly transparent way. Not all the symphonies are in the concert hall, but rather located in the odd studio that looks very dated in the late 60's and early 70's.Soundwise, these are fine, but nothing spectacular.I have high hopes for DVD as a medium for classical music- and some that I have bought {see my review of Perlman/Barenboim on EMI} have met or exceeded what I have hoped for.For myself, and from now on, I am not going to buy old recordings made into DVD's unless the reviews indicate that it is worth it. These most certainly are not. A little patience, I am sure, and a new recording will be made. After all, this should be fairly easy to do: Record live concerts.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
