SACD Recommendations

Just purchased my first SACD, Muddy Waters Folk Singer, and found the audio quality of this disc absolutely incredible. Especially when one consider the original analog recording is nearly 50 years old. I would like to try some more SACDs, what are your top 3 (or more) recommended SACDs from a recording quality perspective?

Classical guitar offerings on SACD seem to be few and far between. Some that look interesting to me (although I don't own any of these as yet) are:

Although not SACD, there are a couple of classical offerings on HDCD from Reference Recordings by Roberto Moronn Pérez:

As to the original post and apart from any of the SACDs already mentioned, three particular favorites of mine in terms of sound quality are Midnight Sugar by the Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio, Modern Cool by Patricia Barber, and The London Concert by Wynton Marsalis.
