      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Debuting in Dresden, Germany in 1911, Der Rosenkavalier (The Cavalier Of The Rose) is one of Richard Strauss

    DVD Picture:
    The video-originated 1.78:1 DVD is not anamorphically enhanced, so details in the costumes often shimmer, and all but the closest shots of the actors appear blurred. Shots of the full stage are undefined. Colors are nicely balanced and occasionally rich. Edge enhancement is apparent, and as with most cases, distracts more than it enhances anything. Overall, this DVD is a disappointment. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #21 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I received a DVD for Christmas and went to the newsstand to learn all about DVD movies and Widescreen TV. I picked up an entire different magazine and out of all of them, yours was the best. It is that simple. As a matter of a fact, I just subscribed to Widescreen Review.
