Video
The video presentation is magnificent. It's anamorphic transfer & rendering is nothing short of perfection.

Audio
The audio presentation is quite possibly the best I have ever heard. If you are a fan of classical music, in particular, that of the violin, you will find youself in rapt ecstacy at the incredible musical performances and score of the film. This is also the best part of the disc, IMHO, as this disc bears both the Dolby digital soundtrack as well as the DTS version! While there is very little use of the surrounds during the presentation, what little use there is is put to good use.

Extras
The extras include: a theatrical trailer, production notes, a seperate audio track presentation of the soundtrack, cast & crew bios & the above mentioned DTS & Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio presentations.

Conclusion
Overall, I found the film to be quite well done. I am a fan of period pieces & this film provided me with a wealth of eye/ear candy for each period presented. The acting is solid & the story is somewhat compelling. At 2 hours 16 minutes it does get a little long in the tooth and once you find out the true mystery of the violin, repeat viewings are out of the question. Definately a renter.
