There are several recordings of Nos.  1 and 2 and the two unnumbered
Symphonies (one in A major and the other in F "Urbs Roma).

I have the Martinon recordings.

There are also other, incomplete symphonies, one in Bb (1848), in D
(1850) and one in A (1850-not the complete one also from 1850).  I have
never encountered recordings of any of those works.
