I do not know, however, I know that the Brahms double conceto is currently
coupled with a Herbie Von K recording of the Beethoven triple concerto as
part of EMI's great recordings series. Personally, I found the Beethoven
triple concerto to be overrated. I recently listened to the Naxos
recording of the triple and still think it is the best one that I have
heard. Perhaps one day Naxos will have a great recording of the millenium
series and we will see the Beethoven triple concerto coupled with some
other great treasure from the Naxos vaults. In the meantime, I will keep
my eyes open for the Szell/Oistrach recording.
