Review from Michael D's DVD Info Page:

Plot Synopsis

Here is an interesting concept: the music of the quintessential Viennese Johann Strauß, conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt - one of the leading "authentic" interpreters of our day. However, the music is not performed by Viennese musicians but by none other than the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. A bit of a mismatch, don't you think?
Not so, explains Nikolaus in the liner notes. Nikolaus was born in Berlin but was classically trained as a cellist in Vienna, so he is well aware of the differences that an orchestra's country of origin can make to the delicate and subtly Viennese sound of Strauß. He starts off by acknowledging that he once heard some German folk songs played by Americans in New England and they were almost unrecognisable to him.
But then he makes a convincing case that the rhythmic subtleties of Strauß' music may in fact have been exaggerated over the years by the Viennese themselves as all the little nuances of performance become more pronounced from one generation to the next. As "tradition" and the Viennese sound is handed down across generations "a little mud sticks to it."
Nikolaus also points out that Strauß visited Berlin a number of times and had conducted a number of concerts there. So we are led to believe this is a collection of Strauß pieces as Strauß himself may have conducted it with a Berlin orchestra, hence the title of the album: Johann Strauß in Berlin.
There may be something in all that, because as I started spinning the disc I was struck by how "different" the music sounds - the melodies were all there and the arrangements authentic to a fault, and yet it was as if I were hearing the waltzes and polkas for the very first time.
Even if you are not a fan of Strauß, have a listen to this. You will probably be surprised, like me.

Transfer Quality

Video
Like most of the Warner DVD-Audio discs released to date, the video content on this disc is in full frame NTSC. Each musical piece is accompanied by four illustrations.

Audio
This is an early DVD-Audio release, so there are only two audio tracks: Dolby Digital 5.1 (448Kb/s) on the DVD-Video part of the disc, and MLP 96/24 5.1 on the DVD-Video part of the disc.
I must admit, I am not normally a fan of Strauß music, but I really enjoyed listening to this album. Part of it was because of the fresh interpretation, but I suspect a lot of it is because of the excellent multi-channel recording.
This is a rather conservative "you are in the best seat in the hall" approach to presenting the music. All three front channels are active, and the rear channels are mainly used for conveying hall reverb and ambience.
The soundstage presented is extremely three dimensional and realistic - I felt that the living room disappeared and I was teleported to the venue with the orchestra right in front of me. Every detail was perfect - location of instruments, natural attack and decay of the various orchestra sounds, and hall ambience/reverb.
The subwoofer is lightly used to enhance the low frequencies in the music.
The Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track in comparison is not as captivating or involving as the MLP track, though sonically it is quite similar. I lost the sense of "being there" and somehow the music seemed more distant and less captivating.
