3.0 out of 5 stars very poor sound quality..., 12 Jun 2006

By	W. Weidringer (vienna, austria) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

...makes this edition much less enjoyable than it could and should be (excessive overmodulations all the time), along with strangely unsynchronized dubbing of a considerable amount of lines. fine acting, though.

3.0 out of 5 stars The answer to our questions, 6 Jun 2005

By A Customer

I have had the opportunity to watch the US version and, as far as I remember for having watched the UK version some time ago, the US 4-DVD version has a couple of extended scenes here and there, nothing of great importance for the whole of the story. The US version is however of relatively poor image and sound quality, and has no language or subtitle options. I would like to find out if the UK version has language options (German).

4.0 out of 5 stars Let down by sound quality, 25 Aug 2006

By	Mr Richard Varley (Uxbridge, Middlesex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This was a great TV Epic, but this DVD version is let down by the poor quality 2 channel soundtrack. Could do with a digital makeover, including some softening of Burton's face in earlier scenes; you have to suspend belief in order to imagine Burton was playing 'young' 37 year-old Wagner.

Otherwise beautifully filmed, very 'arty', and close to history.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3 disks and not 4 - the reason

3.0 out of 5 stars Why 3 discs and not 4?
Derek Carver's question is a very good one and I do think that the European version is shorter. Amazon should answer this question. In the meanwhile I am ordering from the States.
