justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to adjust some track marks. I also had to remove 8 commercials between tracks, and move the conductor interview to the end of the recording. I did not remaster or re-mix the audio. There was no EQ or Noise Reduction used. The DVD had lossy audio so the waves were encoded to MP3 320kbps using TRader's Little Helper.

This is a pretty nice sounding recording. The Symphony and Coral arrangements are fabulous, complementing the songs perfectly. The performance is nothing but superb all the way.
