Muti/CSO Scriabin and Tchaikovsky

I remain baffled by Warner's failure to reissue the Muti set this year .

Are you referring to his Tchaikovsky? I just purchased it.

I thought were talking about the Scriabin set?

One wonders just how much of a draw Scriabin is, and whether Warner feel it just isn't worth the expense of remastering/reissuing these sets. Decca/Universal's 18-CD Scriabin Edition boasts a number of new recordings, but in essence it's just recycled maerial. Indeed, the Scriabin centenary has yielded little that is new; Garrick Ohlsson'a superb traversal of the Poèmes and the new Pletnev disc from Pentatone are the only worthwhile new releases I've seen so far. Or have I missed something?

IIRC, the Muti Scriabin set was licensed to BRILLIANT before WARNER took over EMI. Maybe this is holding up the reissue/remastering? It is spectacularly good and should be readily available in the catalogue in this anniversary year in particular.
