I don't know what your musical tastes are, but most of the live concert (all genres) and opera Blu-rays out there are really outstanding, PQ- and AQ-wise. The number of live operas on Blu is still pretty small, but I can strongly recommend the recently released 'Barber of Seville' and 'Carmen', both on Decca. They are truly stunning in all respects; the Rossini, in particular, ranks as one of the best Blu-rays I've seen, technically. (It also helps that the production and performances are stellar.)

I've read in a number of places that perhaps one of if not the best sounding Mahler Symphony 2 recordings is Boulez on HD DVD and of course the performance is outstanding. Knowing you have many recordings of Mahler, I truly wonder how this recording would stack up.

  I've heard that, too. I've got it on DVD (which is really good), but if it came out on Blu-ray (which I'm surprised it hasn't yet) I'd get it again....
