Keeping Score Series

[RBFC]

Has anyone heard (and seen) any of the releases in the Keeping Score series with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra? I've read some pretty favorable reviews and wondered how the sound stacks up compared to the better CD versions of these works available.

There's a Shostakovich, an Ives, a Berlioz, and a Tchaikovsky Blu-Ray of which I'm immediately aware. I think there are 7 total releases in this series.

Sounds promising -- I purchased several MTT & SFSO SACD's and they sounded fantastic. I'm betting these blu-rays will, too.

So far, I have heard only the Berlioz. The performance is a good one and the sound is good, too. Navigation is not. Even when you get past the main menu to access the full performance, you still have to sit through MTTs 30 second introduction unless you hit the skip button. C'mon, if I wanted to hear his comments, of which there are plenty in the lecture/demo tracks, I would have accessed those tracks (and I do not).
