Funny, the mono LP you mention with Scherchen is on the Westminster label. They released many outstanding classical mono LPs in the 1950s, some of the best for both performance and sound, and not hard to find or expensive.
What I was trying to say about stereo is that it wasn't well executed in a lot of the earliest stereo LPs. Do you know But Not For Me by the Ahmad Jamal Trio live at the Pershing Lounge from 1958? (Of course you do.) I have the original stereo LP. Great record, terrible stereo.
