Well, for sure no one deny to Berlin Philharmonic rights to make money. The boxes now cost $500 and I am sure that in 10 years Japanese will be selling it on eBay for $10.000. 
 
There are a few interesting subjects in this. 
 
First is: how good the Best produced LP? If we presume that the new Berlin pressing is a panicle of LP production (I am not saying it is I just say “if”) then how much better would it be compare to the latest let say 4X digital not-edited recording? 
 
I see they loaded a mixing counsel in the track? So, they do not use just 2 mics but poly-mics and the feed was mixed manually? Well, the fact that mixing counsel has zillion oops amplifier and probably a number of internal low quality compressors does not bother anybody. 
 
Another interesting aspect is the LP at those LPs. I own plenty the best today pressings and NONE of them have civilized lower bass. I have no idea why today people do not cut records with proper lower bass. But if you but some crap pressing from 50s then you have VERY different result. 
 
Anyhow, I do not buy these records but I am for sure your like to hear it. Also, it is kind of silly for them to sell $500 record and do not let to preview the recording in MP3. I have no idea if I like the musical interpretation and I do not think anybody want to pay $500  just to try it.
