One of the discs in the two-disc DVD set was defective - same defect on two different copies. Also, some of the tracks had the channels reversed. I assume this affected the whole pressing run (although all the reviews I've seen do not mention the defect at all - it's a kind of distortion which sounds as if an FM station is mistuned). A couple of reviewers did mention the reversed channels. I later got the MoFi SACD's of these performances, which were fine.I did not contact Classic Records directly about the problems. The odd thing though, is that I actually prefer the sound on the Classic Records 24/96 DVD's (on the non-defective sections - which is, to be sure, most of the set) to that on the Mobile Fidelity SACD's - just slightly. The Mobile Fidelity SACD's actually sound great too.
If you've seen discussion on this board about previous releases in the Classic Records Everest HDAD reissue series, you'll know that there have been multiple threads about the pitch problems with these discs - most of us think it's due to the stretching of the master tapes (or, more correctly, master films). Nothing we can do about it - I guess those of us who are interested in this series are masochists to a certain extent. :-)
