Hans Zimmer Live in Prague

First disc didn't work, this one did. Great concert and quality!

I was very happy with blu ray edition and bought 4K without expecting much. Both the image and soundtrack were remastered, and while image is improved as expected the 7.1 soundtrack improvement was the most perceptible for me. The original was already very, very good, but this one is just next level. I was not expecting this. The bitrate is consistently higher than on blu ray. It was already high on blu ray, reaching up to 7 or 9 mbps at times, but now it sometimes reaches 16 and is consistently above 6 mbps. The bitrate is one thing, but the surround sound truly just feels more balanced on 4k, less consisting of individual speakers and front/back division and more like unified whole without individual speakers. Spectacular. I only worry with these cases that the disk will get scratched as I pull it out and push it in in carton box every time.

I had heard the Hans Zimmer Live in Prague Blu-Ray disc being used to demonstrate various home theater systems in the past, but I was thrilled that a new 4K Blu-Ray was available, now with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack. When I got it, I tried it on my home theater system, and what can I say? I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First, I did detect that the default is to use the Stereo track, not the Atmos 7.1 track, probably to ensure compatibility to all sound systems. Once I went into the setup from the main menu, and selected the Dolby Atmos 7.1 track, and hit the play button, I was transported to that concert. The music completely surrounded me, even though I only have a 5.1 home theater. I truly felt as if I were sitting either in the front row or even, at times, on the stage itself. I should also mention, if you are a Hans Zimmer fan, such as myself, this is a must-have disc. You will enjoy listening to the music over and over and over again. The other musicians were fantastic, lively, and were totally enjoying themselves as they played along with Hans. The only downside is that the disc does not come in a normal Blu-Ray clamshell case. Instead, it comes in a cardboard sleeve. I am a bit worried that the disc may get scratched after it is pulled out and slid back in multiple times. I would 100% recommend this 4K Blu-Ray disc. It is enjoyable, and will test out anyone's home theater setup with the proper equipment (ensure the processor/receiver/4K-player can handle the Dolby Atmos encoding).

Hans Zimmer is a living legend. If you are a fan. This disc is essential. The man has made so much timeless classics for movies like Inception, Man of Steel, interstellar, Dune, Pirates of the Caribbean, Rain man, crimson tide. The list is endless.This disc is a demo for Atmos sound and it is just incredible to listen to his body of work. U know if he does the score it will be incredible.

I purchased the Blu-ray when it first came out. I saw it on a YouTube review. I said this looks interesting?Let me pick it up. The visual were very good. It also had Dolby Atmos on the Blu-ray but then a year later of course it came out on 4K if you like Hans Zimmer in Prague, you have to pick this 4K up. The HDR and Dolby Vision had definitely did justice to the 4K and the Dolby Atmos will make your subwoofers go into overdrive by the way the 4K disc comes in a cardboard slip I would advise you to pick up empty 4K box if you would like to keep your 4K from scratching against the cardboard, taking it in and out that’s just my opinion. .

[4K Ultra HD] The disc content is wonderful with outstanding sound in Dolby TrueHD / Atmos. The disc itself has a small defect in that it "sticks" on playback early on in the running for a few seconds. I was thinking about returning it for another 4K UHD copy, but it appears that the only version Amazon has in stock is "Blu Ray" at this point, so I am going to keep the disc despite the defect. Other 4K UHD discs show purchase options of 4K UHD, Blu Ray, DVD. I assume that if a 4K UHD option does not appear, that version is not in stock. Paid $28.95 for this disc.

Fine sound and video. Very deep bass in the later sections. I live in the boondocks, and I can play music as loud as I like. But some people may need to be aware of their neighbors when playing this. I had a great deal of trouble getting the main menu to show. I found that wiping the center of disc with no more than my finger tip was sufficient to make the menu appear. Without doing that, it would show a repeating, looping introductory video, but the main menu (chapter selection, audio setup) wouldn't appear.

My Blu-ray collection is great, but the new 4K UHD is even better. I'm so satisfied with it.

Amazing recording of this concert. One of the best ways to listen to this music, and some of the best of Zimmer. This has a permanent place on my demo track/movie list

Este Blu-ray muestra el gran trabajo que realiza Hans Zimmer como compositor de bandas sonoras, llevadas al formato de concierto. Imagen y sonido de gran calidad para disfrutarlo en alta definición y con buenos altavoces como mínimo. Tuve la suerte de ver este show en Barcelona (sin él presenta como está en este de Praga) participando en grabación con todos sus colaboradores en vivo, y es absoultamente recomendable para todo aquel admirador del trabajo de este genio.

Vergessen sie alles was hier an Meckerei abgeliefert wurde, sei es der eventuell nicht genau passende Bildschnitt, oder dass vermeintlich andere Filmmusikkomponisten besser sind: Wer Musik als hoch emotionales und bewegendes Erlebnis empfinden kann sowie entsprechend vorbehaltlos das Geschehen auf sich wirken lässt, wird sich im besten Sinne des Wortes aufgewühlt, erregt und tief berührt während und nach diesem Konzert wiederfinden. Die Spannung die Hans Zimmer mit seiner Inszenierung hier aufbaut ist so dramatisch, wie der packendste Film es nicht besser sein könnte. Nicht zuletzt wegen des zum niederknien großartigen Sounds – sehr gute Anlage vorausgesetzt - bombastisch aber mit klaren Strukturen, abgrundtiefen kräftigen Bässen und gewaltigem Bläsersatz sowie einem zu jeder Zeit deutlich heraushörbaren Chor. Die Klangmuster sind jederzeit souverän ausgeglichen und selbst in leisen Stellen von einer deutlich spürbaren, den Raum ausfüllenden Lebendigkeit geprägt. Es liegt ständig eine positiv empfundene Anspannung in der Darbietung. Spätestens bei der Musik von „Man of Steel“ ist die Spannung so fesselnd und ergreifend, dass mir hemmungslos die Tränen der Freude nur so kullerten. Mehr geht nicht. Wenn ein Musikgeschehen das schafft, ist es ist völlig egal, ob man hier oder da etwas hätte besser machen können. Die aus meiner Sicht zu Recht andauernden „Standing Ovations“ des Publikums sprechen für sich. Aus diesem Grund ist dieses Konzert eine unbedingte Empfehlung zumal auch das Auge nicht zu kurz kommt. Tolle Musiker, kein nervöser Bildschnitt und ein messerscharfes Bild mit tiefem schwarz (was freilich nur mit OLED gelingt) runden den Spaß an dieser BluRay ab. Alles in Allem ein Hochgenuß! Fünf Sterne plus Herr Zimmer für ihre wunderbare Musik und dieses Ausnahmekonzert. Danke auch an EAGLE VISION für die – wie immer bei EAGLE - wirklich perfekte Tonaufnahme! Diese BluRay wird gerade für ca. 8 € verscherbelt. Ich würde sogar 50 € dafür geben! Technische Anmerkung: Der Ton steht neben Stereo auch in DOLBY Atmos zu Verfügung – normales DOLBY 5.1 abwärtskompatibel. Ich rate unbedingt zu Atmos und wenn sie noch keine Deckenlautsprecher haben und/oder keinen atmosfähigen Receiver, dann schnellstens nachrüsten! Und dann bitte in Orchesterlautstärke hören. Der Unterschied zur einfachen Stereowiedergabe ist kaum in Worte zu fassen. Soviel erlebnisreicher und emotionsgeladener ist das Geschehen mit DOLBY Atmos. Absolut genial. (Abhöranlage: 7.1.4, ARCAM 550/P429, Cambridge CX UHD, Lindemann BL30/20, CANTON GLE 416.2, Velodyne Digital+ 12, LG 4K 65" OLED,) Nachtrag: Meiner Freundin Chris habe ich neulich diese BD vorgespielt. Danach meinte sie: Ich muss jetzt erstmal Luft holen und mich beruhigen, man ist das klasse! Im nächsten Satz meinte sie mich etwas resigniert anguckend: Ich muss unbedingt was an meiner HiFi-Anlage machen…. 😊

Not my type of concert registration. First part is okay but second part is more like a psychedelic lightshow. Very nervous and quick camera changes. Maybe acceptable to listen but hard to watch. Disappointing for me.

Fabulous recording quality. Way better than the non-4k version in audio
