RE: Gergiev and the LSO escape the Barbican on their latest recording

" CD resolution is technology of the 80's (not that it can't still provide excellent results BTW). And this level of resolution on a brand new LSO Live album is really a bummer in this day and age. "

Given that:

1. There is now only one plant pressing SACDs
2. Very few people in the great scheme of things have the ability to replay them.
3. Blu Ray audio has not been a screaming success.
4. Downloading aside from MP3s is a minority activity.

It is hardly surprising that in the main record companies go where the money is; CDs (still hanging on), MP3 downloads and streaming services (uncompressed yet to prove itself economically, though I guess that's true of all streaming services at this time).

Sadly, if it is your interest, for these reasons I would not expect a great number of MCH releases in the future. Even supporters of SACD and MCH like Channel Classics are now abandoning the format.
