The outstanding DTS-HD sonics let nothing stand between the listener and a visceral encounter with Grieg's genius.
For one, the DTS-HD not only opens the sound considerably, but the instruments themselves acquire a new sense of full-bodied bloom and separation, thanks to the increase in dynamic range. Along these lines, listeners may find the Blu-ray version also eliminates a slight "tinny" sound in the upper registers of the piano, a possible result of the higher frequency-range limits of DTS-HD. Likewise, the weightiness of the piano's lower registers is restored, such that the concluding pedal tones in the Grieg sound commanding and jarring. These performances represent the difference between interpretations whose curiosity value rapidly wanes with each encounter, revealing a musically hollow core, and those--such as we find here--that have genuine staying-power and substance. They are permanently enjoyable.

I bought several recordings by this company in DTS-HD and they are all exceptional audio quality. But unfortunately some people don't have proper set-up to experience it and often listening to it in stereo that is absolutely wrong. Don't let these people mislead you. You need at least 5.1 set-up to experience this recording but 7.1 set-up is really make a difference, So please be aware and don't write reviews if you cant utilize the product the way it produced to be.

This recording sounds terrible. The bass is muddy and the deep lows are missing. This one is a real loser.

The disc opens with an excellent performance of the Concert Overture "In Autumn" with the Scottish musicians playing for all they are worth and sounding as though they have the Northern idiom under their belts. Grieg piano concerto demands both a virtuoso pianist and a huge, supple orchestral sound. It gets both in this multichannel recording which pairs pianist Havard Gimse with a venerable Royal Scottish National orchestra. Poetry and precision triumphantly fuse in the Grieg Concerto, where Havard Gimses fabulous technique and ravishing tone make this overplayed work sound quite invigorating. I particularly admire the effortlessly effected tempo relationships between sections, plus the welcome melodic emphasis with which he shapes the Finale's flashy runs and the first-movement cadenza's bass rumbles. The orchestra completes the programme with a lovely performance of Grieg's Symphonic Dances. These are pure Grieg and the Northern atmosphere comes to the fore in this superb performance.
And the 7.1 DTS0-HD lossless sound? It's big, smooth, and well proportioned, like the performances. It's not only a great recording; it's the kind that communicates effectively with the new Blu-ray medium. Surely, this is the best piano-and-orchestra release of the year.

Some of Grieg's most charming music appears in this ably executed release.
In Blu-ray DTS-HD Master Audio lossless multichannel format, not only do you get enhanced three-dimensionality with respect to the basic soundstage, but sensitive use of the rear speakers creates atmosphere. The bottom line is that this production offers an unparalleled experience of Grieg's music in which the technology is placed entirely in the service of musical and sonic values. Clearly everyone concerned with this release has pulled out all of the stops, and it has paid off handsomely.
