In Reply to: Levine/Met's Ring Cycle on DVD posted by hhao on November 29, 2002 at 10:32:57:
Just got this DVD set last week but only had a chance to sample it. I do know it pretty well, though, as I had this set on LD. Image-wise, the DVDs are good, but on the soft side. (They're only slightly better than the LDs.) Being at least 10 years old and shot on videotape, the picture's not going to be as sharp as most recent productions, but once you get accustomed to it, it's fine. Sound quality is very good (I listened only to the PCM track).The production is somewhat of a throwback--very traditional and old-fashioned, but very well executed. (It's nothing at all like the modernist approach of the Boulez/Chereau/Bayreuth, which seems kind of tame nowadays.) Levine conducts well, and the singing (for the most part) is excellent. (Don't want to go into details here--it's late, and I've got to get to bed. ;-) )
