DVD 6793 BLUEBEARD'S CASTLE (Bartok) & EWARTUNG (Schoenberg)

Norman, Ramey, the Met - clearly 5 stars. However, the picture is only OK (3 stars - perfectly watchable, but much of the background is hard to distinguish) and the sound, apparently in stereo, is a little muffled so the orchestral contribution doesn't come through to full effect. The voices come out fine, though. Bluebeard is sung in English. Ramey can be clearly understood, Norman not so much. Erwartung is sung in German, but there are subtitles. So I definitely recommend this DVD for the performances, but be advised that the picture and sound are not as good as one would like.
