This is a great idea, which I fully support! The only pitfall is that the recording also needs to be done from a free edition (i.e. an edition which is no longer under copyright, which means that every editor died at least 70 years ago for European jurisdictions, or that the score was published before 1923 if U.S. law is applicable). Otherwise the recordings could still not be shared freely, as the editor has still copyright on the edition! The guys over at IMSLP identified some of the projected recordings where the underlying edition is not yet free. For more details, see the IMSLP forums (http://www.imslpforums.org/ ).
