There was/is a Philips (as well as other label) CD of Mravinsky & the
Leningrad Phil. I doubt seriously that he ever recorded with the Moscow
Phil.

Kondrashin did do a cycle with (IIRC) the Moscow orchestra.

I'll check on current CD status and report later.

Back after consulting GramoFile.

Mravinsky with Leningrad Phil on CD:
   - a very early (1940s) version on Melodiya/BMG  74321 29406,
   - the 27 March 1982 live performance formerly on Philips  422 442-2
     (now out of print I believe)
   - the same live performance on RussianDisc  RDCD 10917
