after realizing that two discs were released in the old format (as red book CDs) i contacted Hungaroton to clarify why. according to their reply 7 discs (these are all piano works) will be released as red book CDs.
they have released 5 discs so far. of these 3 are SACDs and 2 are red book CDs.
it might be worth drawing your attention to the fact that an sacd:
HSACD 32502 5991813250223 Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra Conducted by KOCSIS Zoltán The Wooden Prince-a dancing play in one act by Béla Balázs. Kossuth, symphonic poem
won the prestigious MIDEM classical award in january.
