Tchaikovsky Piano Concertos BD

[toef]

Does anyone know if there will be video to go along with the music, or will it just be still images like the Grieg BD?

Assuming Stills..... since Tchaikovsky video doesn't exist

Naw - I hear they're getting the same guy who did the Tool videos for the BD.

Seriously, I would doubt video since that would up the production cost. Hey, maybe if they put some of those "Sunrise Earth" videos along with the music. . . .

I'm betting stills.

'Tchaikovsky' in remixed 7.1-channel DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio high-resolution surround (24-bit/96k), along with an accompanying video track that features multimedia artwork and visuals encoded in 1080p/VC-1.

I am not so sure about that release, especially the 'remixed' part. These recordings were originally released as a DVDA on Naxos and were (as recorded is my guess) in 5.1.
I just can't see how this could benefit from a 7.1 remix if the original recording had two ambience tracks in the surrounds only.

If there are separte tracks of different sections and they take a more aggressive approach to the surround mix, then I would re-buy it in a second. Otherwise I'll stick with my DVDA.

So if anybody can comment on the mix, I'd appreciate it.
