I'm really amazed by how many old items now in the Sony catalogue are currently available at Acoustic Sounds in 24-bit incarnations. We've already mentioned some of the Munch mono recordings from the big set just released, but there's pre-stereo Menuhin, Arrau, etc. It's probably overkill, and I'm surprised by it, but a number of older recordings are there. In years past, there were waves of mono Gieseking, Callas, etc. albums from EMI/Warner available. So I'd guess it's probably just a matter of time before that Oistrakh/Ormandy recording becomes available in some kind of hi-rez incarnation too. And the nice thing about these downloads is that, once they're up on the given site, they rarely go "out of print" (unless the whole site goes belly-up!).
