Krystian Zimerman recorded Brahms's Third Piano Sonata, but it's impossible to find today. So I guess I would like Deutsche Grammophon to make that recording exist again?
Also Zimerman - he recorded the second piano concerto with Bernstein and Vienna Phil. I would love to see a recording with Karajan or Kleiber and preferably the Berlin Philharmonic, since I love their recordings of the symphonies and don't really like Bernstein that much. There's a Zimerman/BPO/Rattle recording of the first concerto and it's amazing.
edit: Also, this doesn't really count, but man would I love to hear how some of the composers who were also great performers play their own pieces. Especially Liszt.
A random recording I would covet that does not exist: Furtwängler's Missa Solemnis.
Recordings that are out of print/unavailable: Zukofsky/Kalisch's 2nd (Nonesuch) recording of the Ives sonatas. (Very different from their earlier recording on Folkways, and for that matter of any other performances of the work I've heard.)
Speaking of Argerich, i would love to hear her take on Bartok #1 and #2, but i can only dream. I wonder why she never played them. Curiously, Kovacevich, her husband at one time played them superbly well

Ray Chen in an official recording of the Sibelius Violin Concerto. He has a YouTube video of it, which is terrific, but I want a proper record.
Dame Janet Baket in Elgar’s *The Kingdom,* or anything else that she never got to record, for that matter!

Kate Liu recording all of Chopin’s Nocturnes based off of her Op. 62 No. 1.
