As a new stealth approach to DVD-A marketing, and involving as it does a reference quality performance from one of the big publishers this should be a big story, not no story.
Follow Ups:
Not sure what HFR has to do with this, how is anyone supposed to find DVD-Audio discs when they're marketed like this? I mean, are we now supposed to scour all the DVD-Video classical titles in case there's some DVD-Audio content?Another stupid marketing move... Sure, bundle the discs together, but tell us about it!
Searching dumbsters for discarded vinyl collections, raiding shops for second hand vinyl, looking at www.emimusic.ca and find the disc listed with picture from the cover with sticker 'n all and the suspense in finding a retail source (which in this case only took me 2 minutes :( ).Great fun for only 27 Euro's.
Also this disc will appear in many shops in the DVD Music section with the beforementioned sticker and it will raise consumer awarenes for the format.
I think that for these kind of releases there is not much marketing budget anyway.
Gotcha - the thrill of the chase. How about that for a marketing coup; the fun is not in owning the disc, but finding it in the first place. They should go one step further and put golden discs in a few, the modern-day equivalent of Willy Wonka. :-)
Universal have at least one classical DVD Video out with a 96/24 PCM stereo option running with full motion video. I discovered that purely by accident. I can only assume that their marketing departments assume that the packaging does the selling in the store. Anyway, if HFR were talking with EMI I'm sure they would have told them.
conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra. I'd love to have a good performance multichannel DVD-A for comparison. Can you tell me more about the EMI recording (who's conducting, which orchestra, etc.).
It is the highly praised (by TAS) Rattle with the Berliner Philharmonic. Buy the DVD Video and you get a "free" DVD-A. It stands up well against the Zander (sonically) in stereo, but likely wouldn't in 5.1 as it is only 48/24.
front stage?
at the beginning of the 3rd movement.
Ahh, I see you prefer the alternative spelling to obbligato.Anyhow, there are some interesting reviews on the 'CD' with some discussion of a televised presentation in Europe on amazon.uk.
I will check at A&B in Vancouver, sounds very interesting. I like this approach as DVD music is growing by leaps and bounds. In fact, the discs I have that are DVD-A capable, I use in my DVD player via DD and DTS. To me, this is a powerful way for DVD-A to grow. Now they must start making DVD-A available on all machines. The only way to do this effectively will be to unleash the digital stream. The firewall link will probably not catch on as not many will want to replace their receiver at the same time and 6 cables is not an alternative either. We will reach a point in time where a decision will have to be made or the format will not move forward.
Yes I have it and yes it is a DVD Video as well.
For multichannel a new receiver is always neccesairy.

Do a search in classical with DVD Video as media type and mahler as the composer.In the details a reference is made to the DVD Audio layer.

Barely visible bottom line mentions DVD Audio (as bonus?) :)

But this release looks promising as I have the 'unfinished' 10th from Rattle. (EMI also) There is a good chance the rest of the mahler symphonies will follow!
just wonder if there is video content as well?
One is a conventional DVD Video with all of the usual extras including other music and an interview with Rattle. The other disc is a conventional DVD-A including a DVD-V layer which reprises the content of the DVD-V disc for Mahler 5 only.
It's a live recording with public.It's an EMI disc from the dual sided crop. (24/48)
The audio quality compares very well to the 48/24 Tacets or the (upsampled?) 96/24 Teldec Beethovens. Actually, it even stands up well to the excellent Zander/Philharmonia SACD on Telarc played in stereo vs. 5.1 on the DVD-A (not exactly a fair comparison).
He wasn't sure if the report of a DVD-A was accurate, but since I own it I assure you it is. The DVD-V should show up on several sites.
'twasn't me, in all fairness. In my previous message, I said that I had seen it at a brick'n'mortar shop. It was another inmate who posted the link to HMV Japan a couple of months ago.
to find 'stealth' DVD-A titles?I sure hope this concept doesn't fly, I don't feel like sorting all the concert DVDs to find some "bonus" dvd-a hidden in the racks.. I'm sure they'll print it really small on the back cover, under the copyright or something

(contains a bons DVD-A)Does it have a DVD-Audio logo on the cover at least?
(sigh)
