Title: Great performance, poor technical factors
Review: I saw the PBS broadcast and was favorably impressed by the performance, sufficiently so to buy the DVD. While still enjoying the performance, I have a few complaints about the DVD:1. Poor video transfer. Darker areas of the screen blend to black and the colors are garish at times. Too much edge enhancement with associated artifact. My homemade VHS tape has better picture at times.2. Odd sound mixing - Nominally this is Dolby 5.1 but the stage sound and singing is highly concentrated in the center channel so there is no sense of movement as the actors move on stage. The left and right channels serve more for audience noises. Makes you think they only had a mono tape and generated the mix off of that.I wish they'd taken the time to do a better job with this.
