Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

Scarpia

Sony Original Jacket series is reserved for the Columbia Records catalog.  Reiner was an RCA artist.  There was a big RCA Living Stereo box but it wasn't all Reiner.   

I know Sony and BMG have formed a joint venture and are under the corporate umbrella now but they still keep their catalogs separate, like DG and Decca under Universal.

Other. No interest in all those old dead guys. ::)

Wolf Ericcson's Seon/Vivarte productions. :)

Haydn: that genius of vulgar music who induces an inordinate thirst for beer - Mily Balakirev (1860)

Orpheus

I added other artists. Forgive me if I have not done before, it's my first poll! :-\

Bruno Walter.  I never managed to get my hands on the complete Bruno Walter Edition, and I'd love to see it plus all of his mono recordings issued in a jumbo box at a $2-$3 per disc pricetag.

The newish Masters boxes seem to be a mix of Columbia and RCA recordings.

I'd like to see more Ormandy material reissued.  His Prokofiev Symphonies 4 & 6 were never commercially issued on CD, and they hold up very well against current competition IMO.

I thought Original Jacket = Sony, Masters = RCA.  Can you give an example of a mixed one?

Original Jacket is Sony, but the Masters series is mixed - eg, Wand's RCA Bruckner and Maazel's Sony Sibelius. 

The joint venture between Sony and Bertelsmann ended in 2008 when Sony bought out the Bertelsmann portion and gained control of most of the catalog.

The new erato

Other, we need a van Nevel Edition. The others have been done to death and are/have been available in various reissue guises.

Rudolf Serkin, no doubt. His Schubert, Mozart (with Szell or Schneider), his Beethoven (sonatas or Concertos with Ormandy/Bernstein), Reger, Brahms ... and the chamber music, with Casals, Budapest or Busch Quartet, his miraculous recordings of Sonatas with Adolf Busch ...
