is there a market?

Is their a large enough market within the audiophile community and music lovers alike to start a recording company that recorded primarily jazz and classical music the right way?  Is there a chance to capture the great orchestras of america in a totally analog process from start to finish just like they did back in the fifties?  I would think many orchestras would jump at the opportunity to be part of the effort to be recorded like the great orchestras were in the mid 20th century.  Is there still equipment in existence and engineering know how to make this happen?  There certainly is a renewed interest in vinyl and the sound it produces even if it is done digitally.  How about the real thing?

Popular classical orchestras already have contracts and already pressed into vinyl -- definitely not the old vintage 50's way, but works for them in terms of monetary rewards. Not popular classical orchestras won't have large enough market no matter how good they are unless they join with world known solo maestros either pianist or violinist. You can also promote such into audiophile community via magazines and CES, but need lots of funds for advertisements.
With jazz it's a-bit simpler, but getting around with world known performers also not easy. 
 Let's say if you make 500 copies of certain band or orchestra with perfect analog recording the old vintage 50's way sold at $35 each, you won't profit.
