In Reply to: You mean, it's in stereo? But how is the performance? posted by clarkjohnsen on June 16, 2004 at 14:20:41:
That review is of the Image DVD, not the newer Criterion. And I've heard better performances. No, the sound is not in stereo but the film transfer and monaural sound track are top notch and, as I said, much better than any previous LD or DVD attempts.
Follow Ups:
"fianlly has a soundtrack of the wonderful Prokofiev score to match the quality of the visual print", you meant that the original track had been pleasantly refurbished, or that it hadn't and the visual print sucked? This is confusing...
I read what I posted and I think what I said is clear: yes, the print has been restored and is the best on video to date and yes, the original soundtrack has also been retored and is the best to date. Why don't you buy or rent the DVD box and see/hear for yourself?
"I read what I posted and I think what I said is clear." No sir. You don't see the ambiguity in "fianlly has a soundtrack of the wonderful Prokofiev score to match..."?Not has a new *restoration* or such...
Maybe I shall watch the DVD, but the whole point was, I detest remakings (as in Fantasia and the Image Nevsky) and you seemed to be saying it had been done again.
