      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "The Kronos Quartet In Performance" (titled on the DVD jacket "Kronos On Stage") tackles two composers

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD stage performance exhibits nicely rendered images against a pitch black background. Colors are nicely rendered with accurate fleshtones and intriguing accent lighting to showcase the instruments, rather than the performers. While images are mostly sharp and detailed for the close up shots, wider shots of a group of performers can appear slightly smeared. Occasional shimmering details are noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby Digital 5.1-channel audio is a remarkable recording. Instruments and the various effects sound impressively pristine and pleasurable. Distribution to the surrounds is rather generous in rendering spatial ambience. The center channel is de-emphasized for this particular sound mix. (Perry Sun)

    Reason #32 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review as a way to dream. I think about the day I make it in life and how I will own only top of the line products featured in your magazine. I think about the parties and social functions at my house and how the centerpiece will be my entertainment system. Though at my current economic standing, it will take me years to be able to afford all the products I want without getting into credit debt, I still see no harm in reading about what will be mine.
