Put that all together, great Meridian sound from such wonderful compositions and performers and great Blu ray picture and you have wonderful entertainment.
Actually it is the same one as I reviewed but was purchased from the USA (hence the region 1 coding) and curiously, has a different cover to the one shown in your link.

When I posted my review of it up at another forum I was deluged with disagreement so I looked at it again and modified my opinion. But it is still not my favourite Boheme, but that is not to say others will not find it their favourite.

Reactions to a disc can depend a lot on one's mood/state of health etc at the time and are very subjective of course. Just like Kal disagrees with my appraisal of Die Fledermaus.

But that is fine and what we want in this thread - a number of different viewpoints. And it is great we all have different tastes. What a dull world it would be otherwise.
