Not really, Charles. I don't put much emphasis on the visual aspect of orchestral performances. Although I've looked at a few on regular DVD, I don't own even one. Any suggestions that I'd make about them would be based on the performance quality without consideration of the video.
One area of classical performance that relies much more heavily on the visual aspects is the ballet, and I have a collection of the classical ballets(Cinderella, Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, etc.)on DVDs. A few months ago I did view an excellent Swan Lake on Blu-ray at a colleague's home. Although I wasn't so overwhelmed(my whelm threshold is fairly high)that I felt compelled to rush out and buy a Blu-ray player, I can certainly recommend this
Kirov performance to those with players.
