I purchased this video location not really brilliant the details of what it contained, but having travelled extensively through Germany by bicycle in the 1980s I was hoping to rekindle some memories. I was not disappointed.

This DVD location takes the viewer on a helicopter tour along the Rhine north from the Swiss border to around Cologne, then generally along the Danube, again from the Bodensee (Lake Constance) until it flows into Austria. Since these areas were the focus of my first German cycling trudge I was familiar with many of the sights along the map.
The scenery is dazzling and the camerawork is expansive. Shot and mastered in high-definition, then transferred in standard format, the video plays on a standard DVD player but retains very suitable image quality for those of us who enjoy up-converting DVD players. I acquire a 61″ TV and although the image is not as obliging as a high definition broadcast it is by no means awful, and on a smaller TV the dissimilarity in image quality will be negligible.

There are fair a few minor criticisms: firstly, the DVDs don’t screen some heavenly parts of Germany – conspicuously absent are the blooming towns of Regensburg and Nurnberg, which I would have conception would have made it into the Danube expose. Also, Bremen, Kassel and parts of North Germany are not covered. Perhaps these towns will do it into an upcoming region (the obsolete East Germany, including Berlin, is – obviously – also not covered) . Secondly, the narrator’s train is a runt off-putting, being annoyingly melodious and almost soporific. But maybe this is objective my absorb preference. Finally, a very minor annoyance is that the Rhine video’s subtitles are often misspelled and occasionally German and English spellings are mixed in the same caption – anyway, that’s hardly worth mentioning.
Highlights of the programs were Burg Eltz (a few kilometers from the Rhine along the Mosel) and Neuschwanstein – I’m a sucker for fairytale castles.
All-in-all the video is good. The sound is big, with classical and folk music being mixed together almost seamlessly. Occasionally I wanted to scrutinize some shots inside the towns from the ground, but I consider that including that level of detail would have forced the producers to obtain the video status at least twice its length – not that I would complain, but it might be beyond the scope of what the producers were aiming for.
I can’t wait to scrutinize another position of DVDs in this series – I hope many more are forthcoming. Having lived in Austria for a few years I’m hoping the producers of this indicate might be working on an Austrian DVD. I’d also like to study Italy given the same treatment (currently there’s only a 1.33:1 version available) and perhaps France and Spain.
Much like most of you out there I first became acquainted with the `Vision Series’ of aerial travelogue features on PBS television. Whenever I came upon one while channel surfing I’d immediately assign the remote down and sit encourage and relax. It wasn’t long before I decided these programs were something I’d never tire of watching and needed to be added to my private DVD collection.
Containing two program on two DVD discs, `Visions of Germany’ is the fifth high altitude tour in the series following `Visions of … Greece / Italy / England and France’. As with the previous four this ’07 release whisks the audience away far above the maddening crowd to notion Germany in all its wonderful architectural and agricultural glory. Add to the visuals an robust German soundtrack and informative narration and your ready for departure!
