Breathtaking SACD of popular classical music


I started to explore SACD (have first CDs now, and for example Dark Side of the Moon was amazing). 

I would like to add some breathtaking SACD version of some popular classical music. Any suggestions?

@kr4 Wow, I appreciate the details in your response. I need to start somewhere (with my first classical SACD). So if you have to pick (with emphasis on recording qualityh and use of SACD technicology), which would you order?
