Chris, you recall when we met Jared Sacks in Oakland - I asked him why all of the Fischer releases were of standard repertoire, and some of us didn't really need another Beethoven or Brahms, or Mahler or Bruckner symphony recording, even if we enjoyed the few of the Fischer releases we heard. He acknowledged that, but stated that HE needed them - I guess the existence of such a catalog made a huge impact, relatively speaking, on his overall sales. It seems that the next recording of a standard piece is much more likely to sell than something more esoteric. Disappointing but true.
