Too little credit was given to the Chesky LP reissues, imo. I've always found many of them to be excellent. The "Lieutenant Kije/Song of the Nightingale" reissue you mention is a good example of a really nice remastering job that captures a lot of excellent instrumental delicacy and timbre. The Classic Records reissue of this LP is very good, capturing other characteristics of the recording in a good way. I keep both in my collection for their respective virtues.
One of the GREAT LP reissues, and one of the GREAT ORCHESTRAL recordings ever is a Chesky reissue from the Readers Digest series. That LP is Stravinsky's "Petroushka" performed by Danon and the Royal Philharmonic, Chesky CR42, in a marvelous 1962 recording by the great Kenneth Wilkinson of Decca fame. Arthur Salvatore has been the only reviewer to include this on any recommended LP list I've seen, and he recognizes it as "The Finest Full Orchestra LP" on his list. As so often is the case, I agree with Arthur and think he has this very much right.
