Here's a discography that is incomplete but which lists many items that were once available (or may still be) on broadcast transcriptions or "private"/pirate issues:

Note: He did record Haydn 99 and 104 commercially.
Note 2: There are some items missing from the discography, including an off-the-air recording of the Mozart Gran Partita, K.361, some concertos with different pianists or violinists, the Sibelius violin concerto.

Thanks for the discography. Yes, he did do 99 and 104, in mono. I believe the plan was to complete the stereo set, but he died first.
I'm a little sad that the Sibelius 5th isn't part of the unofficial discography. Seems that it would have been a perfect fit.
I wasn't clear if you were thinking 99 was in mono or stereo - I've got it in stereo, and the last issued Haydn-Szell box shows what was what (as of 2011):
The discography I looked at (reference above) seemed to indicate that this was issued in mono. Guess I have a little research to do; of course, I would be looking for the LP, instead of a flattened out harsh, and compressed CD......
It's definitely in stereo - I believe they made a big deal at the time that this was the first release of the stereo incarnation. (You can see from the cover below.) So I guess if you want stereo, you'll have to make do with one of the "flattened out harsh, and compressed CD" incarnations - I'm so sorry for you! ;-)
Interesting. I found a mono LP of 97 and 99 on eBay. Pretty old - on Epic, probably issued in 58 , and I have just had a negative experience with another LP I picked up on eBay, also old (I mean, a Decca/London in mono only-gotta be from 55 or something like that). Even though visually OK, full of snap, crackle and pops. Most of the time things are OK, but every now and then you have a horror story. I love the liveness of the sound of LP - I still play CDs, too, and SACDs, and no, you don't hear what you hear on LP, IMO, but used LP collecting is a crap shoot. At times I want to swear off used vinyl.
Hi, did you note that I have a new cart, and the sound is way better. The comments on sound that you describe are correct, don't want to go to Vinyl Asylum to get verification, nor argue.My Franklin copy is practically as if unplayed condition, same with over 60% of my LP's. I have around 1000 classical albums.
Chris usually doesn't like vinyl anymore. :), but I have much of that material (Szell/Hadyn) in MS and newer pressings, either here or in my family collection.
Linked is the Japanese discography again.
http://classite.com/music/Szell/discography-szell.htm#HaydnThere are no recordings of 100-103. The 88 and 104 were in mono. I own an LP of these. Very good performances, mono old sound.
