Exceptional stereo sound quality on this disc. Any pointers to the multichannel version(s) of this very same recording?

That's why I posted the question. Possibly, there exists the 3 tracks master.

By this time 1978,I am sure DGG used a lot more than three tracks for their masters.But I agree, actually good SQ not only by DGG standards from this period with a nice ambient sound that allows the venue and its acoustic to be heard in the balance with quite a lot of "air" captured.
But there is also some evident zooming in and out again between solo passages and tutti.
The BSO was a really good orchestra in the 70s and play Scheherazade very well for Ozawa.
Joseph Silverstein's violin soli are both well played and not too closely miked.

Three tracks rather think,RCA and late 50s. Already by the early to mid 60s most labels had started multimiking.

Maybe it will even be in the next Pentatone batch of quad titles from DGG?

The cover also looks really nice LP size.

For their RQR series, Pentatone reissued existing Philips Quad masters. That's not the same thing as creating a multichannel mix from multi-track tapes (if the tapes still exist).

For their planned DG reissues, Pentatone used DG Quad mixes. I don't know how long DG kept doing quad mixes, but 1978 is quite late for that. If no quad mix exists, it's very unlikely that this album will be reissued in multichannel.

You say that 1978 is late for quad mixes, yet the Philips quad mixes in Boston that Pentatone released over the last few years extended to 1980. Let's hope that there are quad mixes of quite a few of their recordings through the 70's.

Wonder if Ozawa's Swan Lake was in quad.
