In addition to what was listed on the site in the link, I would add:
1) Nonesuch records offers nearly all their releases in FLAC. They don't specify the quality so I assume it is 16 bit 44.1 K
2) Presto Classical offers a good portion of its newer albums in FLAC (most I have seen are 16-bit 44.1K)
3) Many of the classical releases from Universal Music are available in FLAC from the Deutsche Grammophone and Decca web sites.
As has been the case for some time classical labels and classical internet sellers, especially those from the UK, are far advanced over other genres and countries in the provision of high definition releases. One only has to look at the equipment ads in classical magazines (Gramophone and BBC Music) to see just how much greater the interest in high quality digital music is in the UK and among classical listeners.
