I can confirm that the process is the same as it as with EMI Classics releases. We are responsible for any remastering required and the SACD authoring here at Abbey Road. There is an ongoing release schedule drawn from EMI's catalogue recordings.

Is there any chance that any of the SACD titles that were previously released on EMI Classics (that have gone out of print) will be re-released by Warner Classics?

Many of these titles were only available for a year or less before they went out of print (right around the time Warner took over EMI's Classical division).

I am quite happy with those titles that I was able to get my hands on before they went out of print. The remasterings were superb. Yet, there were many other recordings that went out of print too quickly for me to get. I would really like to be able to purchase more in this series.

I was hoping that many of those remasterings would also be released as 24/96 downloads (i.e. the mastering format), but that hasn't happened so far. Only a small selection of the titles released on SACD has so far been released on HDtracks, Qobuz, etc..

Great news. Many thanks for the confirmation and the piece of new news, and keep up the good work!
