Here's the page:

The SACDs in question are the Channel Classics Britten/Prokofiev/Shostakovich, Decca "Una Furtiva Lagrima" and the DG Mendelssohn/Tchaikovsky by Lang Lang. Though you wouldn't know it from Gramophone's site as they just list the CD equivalents.

The "Recording of the Month", Berlioz: Harold in Italy from the LSO, is a DSD recording so there's hope that this will appear on SACD one day as well ... but maybe not for the low price that LSO asks for its CDs. Here's the link with recording info for this:

Anyway, a milestone I guess.

The LSO was a great link! Their previews sound great on headphones, and I've ordered the Harold and Les Troyens. Hopefully, both will be issued as a MCh SACD some day. Thanks for the link.

You can't go wrong with Tony Faulkner's recordings IMO. I'm not a big Berlioz fan myself.

Most of the LSO's recordings have been original DSD recordings (except the very first ones), but so far none seem to be on their way to SACD.
