Title: What Exactly Is This?
Review: I have a DVD of "The Golden Ring", which is a BBC documentary on the production of a portion (Acts II and III of Goetterdaemmerung) of the first complete recorded Ring cycle. If I recall correctly I bought it several years ago from Amazon. So what is this new thing they're trying to sell me that's about to be released on DVD, "Golden Ring (Sub Ac3 Dol DTS)"? My only disappointment with what I have--and it is a very trivial one--is that whereas the sound of the Decca Ring is stunning stereo for its time (late 50's to late 60's) the sound on this BBC film soundtrack is mono. Is it possible someone went back to the original multitrack studio takes and derived Dolby and DTS sound from them, and re-dubbed them? Doubtful, but if it were I'd be tempted to buy it. As it is this "product page" is sadly typical of many of Amazon's: absolutely useless for gleaning any information of interest. A person who had no idea of what it is would be even more baffled. Georg Solti an actor?
