Of the commercially available ones I would start with two from Tape Project

Arnold Overtures
Exotic Dances

Then three that I forgot about:
Acoustic Sounds
Rimsky-Korsakoff Scheherazade Reiner CSO
Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances Johanos Dallas SO
Prokofiev Lt.Kije and Stravinsky Song of the Nightingale Reiner CSO

All wonderful stuff.

Good luck. Larry
