There are two to my knowledge: Kitaienko on Capriccio 71035 and Caetani on Arts Music. I have the former but the Arts Music issue has not yet arrived. The Kitaienko with the Gurzenich Orchestra is excellent and very well recorded: others I have in Caetani's set are also very good, the Milan Symphony Orchestra is top class. Caetani was previously released on DVD-A so is not DSD but probably 24bit/96kHz, and the Capriccio set is vague about the recording technology so is probably also non-DSD. One can argue about the pros and cons of other RBCD performances but these two fit the bill as being worth having on SACD. A final point on the Melba issue, be aware it is a youth orchestra, who might be good, but are not necessarily up to the above professional bands. [Christine does note that they sound 'not bad' but admits she is unfamiliar with the work.]
