I don't understand how Sony Music owns the copyright to 1896 recordings
by the Metropolitan Orchestra. Those would have been Berliners, and to
the best of my knowledge the Victor Talking Machine Company did not have
any interest in Berliner Gramophone records - particularly the old
etched-process ones.
