I've just received the DG Brahms set and the booklet includes some
information about the planned releases during 1999. Three sets are
listed as follows.

Russian Repertoire (3 CDs):

CD1:
Mussorgsky/Ravel: Pictures At An Exhibition
Stravinsky: The Fairy's Kiss (suite)

CD2:
Rimsky-Korsakov: Sheherezade
Stravinsky: Firebird Suite

CD3:
Prokofiev: Scythian Suite + Symphony No 5

Richard Strauss and Respighi (2 CDs):

CD1:
Strauss: Don Juan + Tod und VerklēÓung

CD2:
Strauss: Ein Heldenleben
Respighi: Pines Of Rome

French Repertoire (3 CDs):

CD1:
Debussy: La Mer + Three Nocturnes

CD2:
Ravel: Alborada del Gracioso + Rhapsodie Espagnole
Debussy: Iberia

CD3:
Ravel: Daphnis & Chloe Suite 2 + Tombeau de Couperin + La Valse

There is no mention of a Bruckner set for 1999, although I believe
this has been indicated as a planned release in Japan. So perhaps the
European releases will not exactly follow the Japanese ones.

If any of our Japanese friends have more information on this, it would
be interesting to hear it.
