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. 
 

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.


Don't forget the Chinese selling the box seats also. They are really into real estate.

As for the interpretations, Romy's point is valid, but it is also true that Rattle has recorded the Brahms Symphonies fairly recently in 2009 for Warner Classics at live concerts. I doubt the interpretation has changed much in that span of time. I give the Amazon link below: It is quite cheap if you buy used.
