The 1967 catalog does not show anything that is a positive match to those earlier 78 releases -- however there are a handful of things that showed up in 1949 as "with instrumentalists" that are listed in 1967 as "The Columbia Symphony Orchestra."
As for CDs, Sony has released a 22-CD "Stravinsky Edition" (SX22K 46290) that includes most of the later stereo recordings, and "Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky: The Mono Years 1952-1955" (Masterworks Heritage 63325).
It looks like the definitive source for this information would be "Igor Stravinsky--The Composer in the Recording Studio; A Comprehensive Discography," by Philip Stuart, published by Greenwood in 1991 and currently out of print (http://www.greenwood.com/catalog/SKZ%252f.aspx). OCLC/WorldCat shows 217 copies in libraries, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find. http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23767500

Does anyone have information about LP and CD reissues of original 78 rpm sets of Igor Stravinsky conducting his own works?
The only original 78 sets I know about are:
Le Sacre du Printemps (Columbia m 417) from 1942 Firebird Suite (Columbia mm 653) from 1947 Symphony in Three Movements (Columbia mm 680) from 1947
I'm sure there are more.
What I'm trying to find out is if these specific recordings were reissued in the LP era.
For example, is the 1950s LP version of Firebird on Columbia ML 4046 the same recording as Columbia mm 65, or different? Has it been issued on CD?
Etc., etc.... !
Thanks!
