Blu-ray offers a stunning audio-visual experience - it uses a blue-violet laser that's focused to produce an incredibly precise pinpoint of light - five times smaller than the beam falling on the surface of a DVD. Blu-ray can hold up to an incredible 50GB of data on a single disc (that's over 9 hours of high definition viewing)!
Audio is also vital to the Blu-ray experience, being able to handle up to 32 different audio streams - from basic stereo up to uncompressed 7.1 multi-channel sound!
Vladimir Jurowski and Sir Peter Hall are re-united for a fresh and vibrant but timelessly elegant production of Rossini's much-loved setting of the Cinderella story, with a fine cast led by Ruxandra Donose in the title role. Filmed in June 2005 with High Definition cameras and recorded in multi-track 5.1 surround sound.
'This is a performance that meets the Glyndebourne gold standard... Hall has decided to keep it real and produced something understated, sensitive and thus deeply pleasurable.'
---Daily Telegraph
"Vladimir Jurowski, Glyndebourne's young music director, draws sparkling playing from the London
Philharmonic..."
---Sunday Telegraph
