They edited out the oboe flub nicely 😉 It was my favourite piece of the concert. Has been a personal favourite for years now. GerateWohl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,334 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Agreed, though I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't use the Saturday recording of the love theme statement on trumpets in C major. The way they are just a fraction of a second too late when going to A minor is just so beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,334 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Sure: the bit I'm talking about is at 7:00 on the official track. On Saturday, those trumpets had a really charming delay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gurkensalat 336 Posted February 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2022 Watched the concert on Blu-ray in 5.1 surround. Nice companion to the Vienna concert. Highlights for me are Far and Away, Scherzo for Motorcycle and Elegy. Playing is very good, as is expected from the Berliner. I especially like the woodwinds in Nimbus 2000. Video quality is surprisingly bad: massive detail loss in wider shots, probably due to aggressive data reduction. I can only speculate that they took the same low Bitrate encoding as for streaming. It is a pity, since Blu-ray offeres so much higher bitrate and potential quality. Video in the Vienna concert is much better, but unfortunately there they only offered 1080i (interlaced) video which leads to combing artefacts. So no video recording is perfect. Surround sound is good, clear and serviceable, but nothing special. In terms of immersive audio quality it does not hold a candle to the spectacular Vienna surround mix which really replicates the live atmosphere.

Jay 37,249 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Thanks for the kind offer, but I'll probably just end up cancelling that order; I already received the jewel case version from Amazon, which I prefer over the digipak anyway.

Andy 4,070 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Like Jay, I just received my Blu Ray set from Presto yesterday. I'm ripping the discs now. Forgive my ignorance, but in the original post, does "moderations" refer to the audience applause? Am I understanding it that the only way to get the recording with the applause edited out is the digital download? I'm doing some catch up... The Vienna concert had CDs of both applause and "applause-free", correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Williams In Vienna has no applause or Williams taking, and cuts the Mutter pieces that were already on Across The Stars to fit on one disc. Johm Williams Live In Vienna has the entire concert with nothing cut, and includes applause and Williams talking, so now takes two discs.

Stupid DG. That said, the Japanese double jewel case currently looks like the most satisfactory edition - space-wise (not price-wise). And I'm also beginning to think that I could do without the applause after every piece. I therefore may be going vinyl, and then probably mental as soon as I detect the first scratch. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
