2.0 out of 5 stars Bad DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 Mix
Don't buy this if the sound quality is important to you, in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1
mode, the centre channel has no sound at all, all dialogue are from left & right speaker only! Music is too loud and the dialogue are low, makes very difficult to listen to.
"Update: Several of our members have posted asking about the center channel on this release. It is not missing, though it is used differently than center channels regularly are. Once I noticed the postings, I went back and actually put my ear next to the center channel to discern what's going on. It is in fact inactive in the opening Prologue, no doubt contributing to the inadequate levels I note with regard to the Auctioneer below. But it does kick into action during the Overture and stays regularly active after that. At times it seems over-reverbed, as if it's being used mostly for ambient hall effect rather than actual direct audio feed. I've slightly lowered the audio score after revisiting this aspect.
Universal regularly does some frankly screwy things with their audio options on their music or concert titles, regularly having their Blu-ray discs default to Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks, and then having what most home theater aficionados are probably going to want, a lossless 5.1 option (usually DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1), as the third choice. Phantom of the Opera at The Royal Albert Hall 25th Anniversary ups that oddness on two levels: first, the disc defaults to a standard Dolby Digital 2.0 mix, and then, even more peculiarly, the disc does not allow easy toggling to the lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track that is included. Instead you need to either go back to the Main Menu or the Pop-Up Menu and access Setup and make the appropriate audio choice there. That slight difficulty aside, for the most part the 5.1 track is incredibly well rendered, at least after the main singing gets underway. For some reason the Prologue is mixed rather low (or was inadequately miked), and the Auctioneer is a bit hard to hear. Once the main thrust of the show gets underway, the DTS- HD Master Audio 5.1 track easily supports everything from the coloratura warbling to the synth-laden moments of the score. Balance is excellent between the orchestra and the singers and The Royal Albert Hall's natural ambience is caught magnificently on this track."
