It's in the new box, along with the stereo version.

Steve,
The Walter/NY/Mahler 1st was released in the Masterworks Heritage series
(MHK 63328). Did that fall short? That's one I like. I'm excited to hear
about this new stuff, as I found the huge series of ca. 1990 reissues to
mostly be different rather than better. Equivocal enough, anyway, to hold on
to the LPs.

I'm still trying to figure that out myself. At a guess, they're multiple CD
sets with a 2012 release dat. I'm going to order the Bruno Walter Mahler
set to hear how the 2d came out. It's always sounded squished to me. I was
at two of the sessions and recall a bit of what got retaken and why. At
least one of the corrections was not used.
I hope they do the mono 1st which I far prefer to the tired-sounding LA one.
And I much prefer Mitropoulos's performance of the 5th. We'll see. I'll
check the date on that one as well.
I see the Perahia Mozart concerti are also available in a new box and may go
for that one as well.
The date on the boxes will give us some scope of the span. Sort of a "do
not buy if dated before" indicator.
