EMI’s answer re: Missing Tracks,

EMI says the reason some tracks are deleted from the DVD is they don’t have publishing clearances(Lawyers!…ya gotta love ’em.)Others were cleared for TV broadcast only. Great!! That really makes me feel better…Heh.
Jan 31 UPDATE: Having now received the DVD I must eat some crow which will, no doubt, delight Tim Bowen. It appears the DVD may have actually been processed by Elmer Fudd since the video quality is really poor for a digital product, especially as the camera pulls back, AND is not on a par with the Other 4 CW DVDs. I am in agreement with other reviewers on this point. It may be my tin ear but the audio was fine once I set it to the 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround option. The sound on all 5 CW DVDs will threaten to shake the paint off your walls if you don’t back the volume off a bit before turning them on. Once I got the volume balanced between what was coming out of my TV’s speakers (a big screen Samsung HDTV) and what was coming through my Sony Surround system the audio was fine. The performance is still a 5+ but the DVD itself is about a 1 because of the poor video quality.

|Sub Par Recording,
In addition, the extras (The making of…) are minimal and certainly do not add measureably to the experience.
Bottom line, record your PBS station and send the money to them.
p.s. This DVD was played on Samsung Blu-Ray with 1080p up-converting feeding a 54″ 1080P Plasma. Sound was fed via optical cable to a Sony Master digital receiver driving a Klipsch theater speaker system.

|A treat for new fans and old.,
“When You Believe” is, for me, the weak link in this offering. The vocal is technically flawless yet doesn’t fully connect emotionally (all but flatlines in the bridge), especially when compared to the passion of Whitney and Mariah’s original version. Also, I’d have liked a bit more energy from the CD overall; “Nil Se’n La” and the instrumental “The Coast of Galicia” stand out as the only really lively tracks. Overall, though, there’s plenty here to love. This beautiful, accessible CD is sure to create many new fans of a unique and talented group of vocalists and musicians.
