Thank you for all the replies. I will be checking out a few of the albums posted on here

And a few classical albums released in 2017 to add to the list:

Berlioz Les Troyens (cond Nelson) places the opera in the French operatic tradition rather than as a proto-Wagnerian work
Debussy Pelleas et Melisande (Rattle)
Elgar Dream of Gerontius (Rattle) not the “best” Gerontius overall - but sumptuous orchestral playing
Bach Goldberg Variations Esfahani on harpsichord
Mahler Symphony No 3 Fischer Budapest Festival Orchestra

and several others!

And to break the rules - the reissue in high definition digital files of Maria Callas live opera recordings

All in 24/96 from Qobuz.
