George Michael - Symphonica

Tornado Red

I picked up the HFPA blu-ray of George Michael - Symphonica today. Live recordings from his tour a couple years ago. For some reason this release only seems to be available in the UK and Canada on HFPA? Anyway, it's 17 songs of George all grown up. Michael Buble music without Michael Buble. For the most part, I think it's very well done. I'd say the sound is very good, but...it's one of Universal's HFPAs that's in stereo only with their usual 3 options of 2.0 pcm, 2.0 DTS-HD Master and 2.0 DolbyTrueHD. All's good until you try to access the DTS encode. YMMV, but with my Pioneer SC-61 it pumps it into Neo 6 Cinema mode. WTF? I don't find a lot of difference between Dolby and DTS on other HFPAs I have, so it's not a big deal to me. Worth picking up if you're a fan at all...
