Free Music Notes for HANDEL'S MESSIAH
Free Music Review: Great!
Hit: 4 Stars
This features the Highlights of Handel's Messiah by the London Symphony. This DVD does not show the actual performance (orchestra, choir, soloists,etc.) of the Messiah like I was expecting. While listening to the Messiah you choose a visual theme of either progam notes, history, European paintings, or mountains. The mountain scenes are beautiful and are my favorite. Although there isn't a caption option, the sound is clear and there is the option of either DTS stereo or 5.1 Dolby. I enjoy Handel's Messiah more now that I have this DVD. For it's intended use, the DVD deserves 5 stars but since it lacks the actual performance video, I'll withold my star rating to 4.Free Music Review: Spectacular Work, Mediocre Presentation
Hit: 2 Stars
As an owner of several video and DVD presentations of Handel's Messiah, I have found this particular one to be the most mediocre. While the music itself is acceptable, though not outstanding, the graphics are often totally unrelated to anything to do with Messiah, and a couple of scenes, in my opinion, are inappropriate. In addition, I find it many times more enjoyable to see the people who are singing, playing, conducting. So far, the best Messiah presentation I've seen is Holy Land Arts, "Messiah in Bethlehem," which would get five stars from me.Free Music Review: This is not DVD Audio
Hit: 1 Stars
The sound on this disk is at best average compared to other 5.1 recordings. The most important thing to note is that the disk is mis-labled. It is NOT DVD-Audio. It is DVD-Video.I bought this disk to test out my new DVD-Audio setup. The disk is not recognized as DVD-Audio. I checked on my PC and it does not contain DVD-Audio data files. ... And the "label tape" (the plastic tape that is used to seal the top of CD and DVD cases) does have the DVD-Video/DVD-Audio icon on it. If you really want a DVD-Audio disk, don't be fooled.

The sound on this disc is dissapointing compared to the 3 other DVD audios I have. It is shrill and really no different than a standard CD. The volume levels vary from track to track and actually fades away at times - including the end of the Hallelujah Chorus. Only a few selections are included and there are no notes at all. No text and no info on the soloists or conductor. I doubt I will listen to this disc very much.
