Pentatone Classics has an updated list of upcoming releases. Lots of great stuff there, though again I wonder if we need yet another Beethoven symphonic cycle.
But if a set of Beethoven symphonies helps to pay for this little item:

dinko, first of all, thanks for the excellent pentatone news (l'd love to hear Ely Ameling in the Mozart concert arias: she had one of the loveliest voices of the last 50 yars).
Secondly, fear not!! The Masur set of the Beethoven symphonies is not just any old set. It dates from the early 70's and never got the attention it deserved, -it had very good sound and was one of the most under-rated Beethoven sets ever. It was consistently good, with particularly excellent versions of 2,4 and 8. I'd want to augment any complete Beethoven set with great one offs (like the Kleiber of 5 & 7) but the Masur set is certainly one you couldn't go too far wrong with. I'd be very keen to hear them again.

Beethoven with Masur on SACD and most likely in surround! YESSSS! I know these recordings very well, and that would be my first choice by far! Used to have some dodgy East-German LPs, and if I remember well, the recordings were excellent. Also, we’re talking here about Gewandhaus orchestra from their, again, East-German golden years, with matching golden sound. Can't wait to hear that playing again and again... If anyone is thinking to invest in Beethoven symphonies on SACD, wait for these performances.

I'm pleased to see volume two of the Mozart "Youth" symphonies with Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields in the list. I purchased volume 1 and it is quite excellent with superbly stylish playing and excellent sound for the period. I shall definitely be buying this next volume.
