It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Re: Levine/Met's Ring Cycle on DVD

Sorry but I cannot find a reference to that set. The reviews I can lay my hands on like the Barenboin set and the Boulez set. I'm not sure the former has come out on DVD yet but the latter certainly has.

I have a laserdisc set of the Boulez and tried out the DVD equivalent and was most disappointed as the video quality was inferior and the audio no better despite the "remastering" claim. Maybe this is unique to the Boulez as the original video was done with HD analog techniques which might have been difficult to transfer to digital - I'm only guessing.

The Boulez version caused a storm when first released and is far from perfect (as no ring cycle is) but I like it.
