Excellent documentary and a worthwhile purchase.
For Beatle fans, as i am, this is a must. A beautifully create documentary about the "quiet" Beatle, George. Full of great, and sometimes not seen, images, you'll spend hours enjoying it.
There's nothing to dislike about this dvd and the blu-ray mastering ups the quality... even in the older filmed segments.
No complaints about this production and disc.

Good interpretation but lacking in the surround feel of the concert hall.
I bought this recording because I've never purchased a hybrid cd before. I really was expecting a concert hall feel, with natural reverb coming from the rear speakers, just as one would hear if attending a live performance. There was a slight feeling of rear reflection but not enough to convince me of total surround sound.
This interpretation of the Rachmaninov 2nd was quite good but doesn't match up to an older recording I have from 1988 on the MCA Classics label. This one was conducted by Gennadi Rozhdestvensky and features the 1st movement repeat that all other recordings have always left out. That repeat brings the recording closer to Rachmaninov's original concept and brings the total length of the symphony to it's original 65 minute length. Actually this recording comes to 66 minutes/13 seconds and is brilliantly interpreted.
I'm not convinced yet if Hybrid audio is worth the extra cost. I might buy next the Mahler 1st or 8th symphony (the 8th especially since it has antiphonal brass, heard in the concert hall from the upper levels in the rear of the auditorium. If I get that surround feel in the music that I'm looking for, then I'll be convinced.

A nice sci-fi package.
How nice to have these early sci-fi classics all together in a nice boxed set. A very well put together package. If you're a fan of films of this type you can't go very wrong purchasins a set yourself. You won't be disappointed.
