Distortion/clipping on the right channel at 8m8s in the first movement on both the RBCD and stereo SACD layers; if it's from the recording itself, it sounds like something was rattling/reverberating close to a mic. Bells are completely drowned out by the orchestra in the coda. I don't have high expectations for sound quality from LSO Live, but this one really exceeded my threshold for unacceptable recordings. Save your pennies and hunt down a copy of the Bychkov on Avie, or failing that, Pletnev on Pentatone.
