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.

So far Naxos has released 14 of these titles;

Vivaldi - The Four Seasons
Mozart - Symphonies 28 and 40, and overtures
Bach - Violin Concerto In E Major, Violin Concerto In A Minor, Double Violin Concerto In D Minor, and Air On The G String
Handel - Water Music, Fireworks Music
Italian Festival - Leoncavallo, Massenet, Gounod, Denza, Godard, Liszt, Mendelssohn
Spanis Festival - Chabrier, Glinka, Massenet, Rimsky Korsakov,
Verdi - La Foreza De Destino, Rigoletto, La Traviata, I Vespri Siciliani
Tchaikovsky - Sleeping Beauty, Nutcracker, Waltz Of The Flowers, Swan Lake
Rimsky Korsakov - Scheherazade Opus 35, Sadko Opus 5
Mussorgsky - Pictures At An Exhibition, Borodin
Handel - The Messiah
Grieg - Piano Concerto In A Minor, Two Melodies Opus 53, Two Norwegian Airs Opus 63, Two Elgiac Pieces Opus 34
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 1, Piano Sonata In F Minor
Christmas Goes Baroque - Christmas Carols performed in the Baroque style.


I have listened ( and watched ) half of these so far and have found them to be very enjoyable and well worth the $12.00 - $14.00 they cost.
