On the positive side the small companies like PentaTone, Talent, Channel Classics, Capriccio, CPO and 2L have enriched the catalogue immeasurably with a stream of beautifully recorded SACDs of interesting and, often unusual, repertoire. We have also had plenty of releases from orchestras own labels - LSO Live, RCO live, the continuing SFS Mahler cycle and The Philadelphia Orchestra via Ondine etc."

so universal has dropped SACD and Naxos, sony is just kind of there, not knowing whether to leave or stay, and I predict they'll leave in short while unless something miraculous happens.

Where did you find that quote? Is it recent? Do you have a link? Deutsche Grammophon just recently released a SACD, and that is a Universal label.
