Khatia Buniatishvili/Zubin Mehta/Liszt #2/Beethoven #1 Blu-ray

Posted by srl1 (A) on November 28, 2016 at 15:28:46

Just got mine from MDT. I see on Amazon it will be available in the US on 12/30--retail $19.95. It's around $16 plus shipping from MDT and available now. The lower prices are probably because the total playing time is short.

What a combination! Liszt Piano Concerto #2 and Beethoven Piano Concerto #1 with Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and for you surround sound folks it's stored on the Blu-ray as 7.1 Dolby ATMOS, some sort of new sound technology. I have to stick with 24/48 PCM.

Anyway, both works are hair-raising (tossing?), exciting, and finger-breaking, and that's just the Beethoven #1! Yes, Khatia manages to do Beethoven proud and still make it into an exciting show piece. It's fun to watch Mehta and the IPO working to keep up with her. The Liszt comes off as it should, a bravura showpiece. The video quality is good, the camera work is normal, but I did notice that not as much time as I expected was spent on Khatia. Both dresses she wore (each concerto was shot at a different concert) were quite stunning, and I was somewhat worried when she bowed that there might be a wardrobe malfunction!
