John Williams and Star Wars go hand in hand. They are the perfect marriage of splendiferous visual chemistry and robust musical opera. They go together like bread and butter, like Laurel and Hardy… I think you get the picture. But put simply, one wouldn’t

Ok, Handel may not be the biggest name in classical music to the casual observer but there’s no denying that his influence can still be felt in the British classical establishment even today.

Sorry folks, but this appears to be a fairly feeble attempt by Silverline to release old back catalogue material (1974) into the new DVD-A medium - a medium which outshines the source material

Fleetwood Mac? Didn't they split up ages ago? Appanrently not with the release of Say You Will, which marks a world first in terms of being released on DVD-Audio on the same day as the CD release.

I wasn’t shivering with anticipation as I unwrapped this DVD-A. I wasn’t even breathing heavily. I wasn’t expecting much difference to the sound quality. Was it worth the effort? Take a look inside.

Forever delayed and highly anticipated are two phrases I associate with this title. If it had been released as expected in December last year it would have been my DVD-Audio disc of the year. A plethora of fine tunes, and delicate mixes make this a great

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Christmas is coming - how about some music to go with that mince pie?

Silverline Records have recently come on board the DVD-Audio format and this is a review of the first disc of theirs I have got my hands on. So get a large rum, and a 'cigarette' and read on.

Now more pop than traditional Irish music, the Corrs bring their almost unique money spinning pop talents to high resolution DVD-Audio. Just a shame that all their main fans are probably under 16 years old.
