I've got one - the Grieg. The DTS bitrate is l509! The sound is incredible. These dvds with classical music are about l hour long with scenes from the country the composer is from. The Grieg has some great Norwegian scenery and village scenes. When I've got a few minutes to spare and can't take the time to get into a movie, I throw this on and soak it in. I've ordered the Mussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov too. The Naxos classical cd company has revolutionized the classical cd market with their budget prices on quality music - I'm thrilled they're into dvd now, especially if the product consistently stays at this level. These dvds can be had for l4 bucks or so (list for 19.99)at online stores.
