Yeah - I like many of Blomstedt's recordings too, and I kind of remember the Blomstedt years here in SF as "the good old days", although a couple of players in the orchestra told me that when he guest-conducted here a couple of years ago, they didn't dare watch him too closely or else their ensemble unanimity would suffer! ;-)
Also, the Beethoven Ninth from that SkD set you mention used to be available in a 24-bit DVD transfer from BRO. I have it, but I don't know if it's still available. As I've also mentioned, I really like his recent SACD set of the Bruckner symphonies with the LGO.
