I think most of Beecham's 78s have been put on CD by Mike Dutton. Do you
have any particular examples? - I could check in my collection.

Weingartner's Beethoven and Brahms symphonies are on CD, but the Brahms
issue I have was only briefly available.  The Beethovens are on Naxos.

EMI do a nice 12-CD box of Fischer.
