This new E.T. Suite is superb, and the best part of this concert release.

To any of my Canadian friends on here... I noticed the Amazon Canada Listing for this that looks like the 2CD album which was going for $60 last year is actually going for $27 here in Feb 2025.

The other "surprise" if you will, is if you look at the listing it seems like just the audio CDs. BUT if you look at the images it hints that this may actually be the Deluxe Edition with the Blu-Ray. So I ordered it this past week and can confirm it is indeed the Deluxe Edition.

Awesome, thank you! I've been waiting for this one to become more reasonable here in Canada and had simply written it off, but then I saw your post, so I ordered it. Thanks again!

Hi Folks,

 

I know that this has been posted earlier, but, I’ve only just stumbled across the Disney+ recoding of this and it is fantastic. I recommend it to those who may be unaware, as I was, that it existed.

The only issue I have with this recording is one already raised in this thread. The French horns sound super distant. Though, it does bring to light some of the other instruments that normally get drowned out by them.  
 

On the other hand, the strings are lively and excellent.
