In Reply to: RE: Track Listing? posted by jim thomas on August 02, 2016 at 12:52:20
As you navigate each track, the information about that track appears in a separate area of the screen. No guessing involved! ;-)EDIT: Having said that, I do agree that the indexing is indeed a bit primitive.

I stand corrected! I was so concentrating on which track number was the first movement of the seventh symphony (math in my head and all that) that I failed to notice the track detail displaying in the lower half of the screen when each number is highlighted. Also, I just discovered that if you highlight and select the tracklist "hot-spot" ol' Herb's picture disappears and a complete detailed list of the symphonies and movements by track shows up.
I'd much rather be seeing a listing of the track details than I would Herbie's posed "profundity" expression! ;-) (The Beethoven symphonies are so deep, SO deep! - LOL!)
BTW, I still haven't listened to the Ninth yet, but the more I've listened to the others, the more I've been impressed by DG's remastering. It sounds REALLY good - at the perfect intersection of detail and spaciousness, and no obvious spotlighting. One thing I hadn't remembered is how Karajan mostly keeps the brass on a tight leash - no overblowing and swamping the strings. I like it! My wife thought that his fourth movement of the Fifth Symphony was just a bit too moderate in tempo, so we listened to about seven or eight other recordings of that movement that I happened to have handy. At the end, she felt that none of the others were actually as good as the Karajan overall (despite his moderate tempo). I may post more detail over at the Music forum if I have time.
This discussion is amusing: People are assuming my question relates to what is shown on the video monitor that anyone would have. What I am actually asking is there a booklet (remember them?) with a track listing, LOL. Nothing like being a luddite!
has a track range by symphony (see above), and the booklet itself has detailed individual track listings. Is this what you wanted to know?
Yes!! Thanks.
Out of curiosity I inserted the BluRay into my Oppo 105 without the TV on, and when I pressed the "1" key followed by the "3" key on the remote, the first movement of the Fourth Symphony obligingly started, so I guess you can play this disc randomly without a TV.
Am I the last person on earth who doesn't want to look at a video screen in order to listen to music? I stare at a computer all day, so
I have taken pains to keep TVs and computers out of my listening room, but it appears the battle is lost. Thanks.
