The list of upcoming releases from Universal was huge last year, and this year, it has dwindled down to one release, according to their website. I had the impression from 2004, that the SACD format had full support from Universal's labels.
I hope this isn't a bad trend!
Does anyone have any information that would make me less nervous?

There's quite a few Universal titles coming out in February/March that I've yet to add here. Stay tuned.

jpc has just announced that Deutsche Grammophon will release 3 bargain-priced SACDs at the end of February (for € 7.99): Beethoven's Choral Symphony, Mozart's Clarinet Concerto and Orff's Carmina burana. Looks like a new series.

on a related note, jpc currently lists around 15 previously released universal SACDs at a new, lower price of 14.99 Euro, effective 24 Jan.

Yep - the VPO/Bernstein Choral, the VPO/Previn Carmina Burana, and the VPO/Prinz/Abbado Clarinet Concerto, coupled with (most interestingly for me) an unidentified Mozart piano concerto with Friedrich Gulda. He did 4 with VPO/Abbado (18, 20, 21, and 22 IIRC), I hope it's K466 (No 20), as that's my favourite version of it.
Gulda in Mozart is unbeatable IMHO: his K271 (No 9) on Orfeo with Boehm and his K488 (No 23) on Teldec with the Concertgebouw under Harnoncourt are fantastic.
