Andrew’s Blu-ray Review: This stunning High Definition Blu-ray release of ‘NATURE’S COLORS WITH THE WORLD’S GREATEST MUSIC’ is a bit unusual, because despite only get images in the 1080i resolution, you still get some stunning images of great clarity and is not a film or a documentary. Here you will find only beautiful nature and animal image that were taken in the Rocky Mountains, Costa Rica, Bali, on the Pacific coast and other natural and beautiful places. Here you will view a steady camera pan across waterfalls, forests, lakes and meadows. See colourful butterflies settled on leaves or motley array of birds sitting in trees. The video release is accompanied by the world's greatest and most recognisable classical music from the likes of Debussy to Bach and from Vivaldi to Ravel.
From Bora Bora to Africa, from the Midwest to the Pacific Coast, from Costa Rica to Bali, from Hawaii to Arizona, from the Rocky Mountains to the Redwood Forest and this is Nature at its most colourful and beautiful. This type of scenery and music combination can run for many times as you want and every time it is still enjoyable either to watch or to have it as background music with nice sceneries of Natures glorious splendour.
The wisdom of nature speaks to us heart to heart, and nature’s first language is beauty. ‘NATURE’S COLORS WITH THE WORLD’S GREATEST MUSIC’ is a musical and visual odyssey that explores the magnificence of nature’s grand design. On this journey, nature’s palette explodes with visions of spectacular colourful explosions, and the vast mysterious landscapes. In addition, time lase photography reveals the wonder of natural processes not visible to the naked eye. This Blu-ray explores what deeper meaning of the beauty of nature that may reveal for us. If beauty is indeed the language of nature, then ‘NATURE’S COLORS WITH THE WORLD’S GREATEST MUSIC’ speaks clearly for all nature loving people.
This is accompanied by the most famous and popular pieces of classical music, which includes Schubert, Beethoven, Bizet, Debussy, Bach, Vivaldi and others all of which can be found on this Blu-ray disc. The soundtrack has two stunning audio tracks that have to be chosen before you play the disc, but one word of warning, if you set your A/V Receiver Amplifier at the normal sound setting, you will have to turn it down a few notches.

Blu-ray Image Quality – Concert Hot Spot and Warner-Elektra Atlantic presents us with a very pleasing 1080i image that gives you a picture that is crisp, with lots of detail images to sooth you’re every desire and the static shots often dazzle with their breath-taking clarity, depth and detail, especially with close ups of different tropical birds and different kinds of butterflies, and the colours are truly spectacular and you nearly get a 3D effect. But what has made me angry is that I have read other reviews of this Blu-ray disc and they say when you view any sort of movement it causes some artefacts, noise, moiré patterns, and jagged edges are all present, quite often within the same shot. Well I can category say that you get none of these negative views, it is totally the opposite as you get to view beautiful crisp images and there is nothing negative about it. But I will say that there were only two shots where the image is slightly out of focus, but that is the only criticism I have about this Blu-ray disc.
Blu-ray Audio Quality – Concert Hot Spot and Warner-Elektra Atlantic brings you two audio experiences in the form of 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround and 5.1 LPCM TrueHD Audio Surround. The sound is well mixed, balanced and dynamic and is basically a front channels experience, surround sound experiences only occasionally gets heard now and again with your rear speakers when the music reaches its peak when the music gets very loud. The differences between the two audio tracks are not that readily discernible as you get with other Blu-ray discs of this genre. You have to go to the menu before playing the Blu-ray disc to choose the sound experience you desire to hear.
Finally, the scenes that are selected are from the most beautiful places in the world, and the classical music is also totally amazing and you get to explore the majestic splendour of nature that is explored in this visually and audio stunning programme. Combining footage of some of Earth's most beautiful locations with a soundtrack consisting of works from Debussy, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi, Schubert, Bizet, and others, this release is sure to captivate your imagination in the best way possible. Overall, the images and audio of this Blu-ray All Region is very enjoyable and relaxing entertainment. Highly Recommended!
