I can probably name 10 of each that were released in the last year. Same with pop/rock. Are you keeping up on this sort of stuff?
Follow Ups:
Been trying, but so far my Googling hasn't resulted in finding out what % of recordings in either 2016 or 2017 was done in analog.
Scott, I'm all for analog recording. But reality is reality. Its been a niche thing for decades and as far as I can tell will remain a tiny % of all recordings.
Dunno how you're even gonna find out what type of recording new releases are. I just checked the last 5 cd's I bought:
Elliot Galvin Trio - Punnch
SFJazz - Music of Miles Davis
Manuel Valera & New Cuban Express - Expectivas
Adam Kolker - Beckon
Ambrose Akinmusire - A Rift In Decorum
Not a word indicating whether the recordings were analog or digital.
I think Tacet just dropped at least 5 or 6 new LPs that are all analog

Pink Martini has recorded many of their albums on analog tape. Not sure how recently they have done that though.
These guys are constantly releasing new recordings.

There are plenty more if you want me to dig them up.
I personally wrote to Andreas Spreer a few years ago regarding Tacet's Ravel Bolero etc. album, and he confirmed in his reply to me that the master was 24/96 PCM. So unless he had some kind of parallel analog tape recording going on too, I'm not sure you can count that title (or indeed most of the titles on your Tacet list) as an analog-originated recording (even though he did use tube equipment on some of them).
""Tube Only" means: only tube microphones and amplifiers were used for the recording. For transfer to a digital disc (CD, DVD or SACD) a connection to an A/D- or a DSD transformer must be activated. For the LP, however, (except for rare exceptions, justified for musical reasons) the signal is even stored on a tube tape recorder and then mastered with valve equipment, so that one would be right in saying that for the entire production not a single transistor was used."So maybe that was the "rare exception?"
Also, it is not uncommon for modern analog recordings to have a hi res digital recording made off of the same mic feeds. Why not?
