Bob Kasenchak wrote of Liapunov's symphonic poem "Hashish":

My trusty Gramophone Classical Catalogue (1996) shows that Svetlanov
recorded it with the USSR Academy Symphony Orchestra; date of Gramophone
review 7/89. It was available on Olympia OCD129 as part of a concert
featuring 4 of L's works and an orchestration of Balakirev's Islamey.

That doesn't make it in the last 2 or 3 years, however, as Bob recalls.

 [Here's the info from the all-Liapunov recording I have:

   Overture "Solemn" on Russian Themes in C Major  Op. 7  (1896)
   Symphonic Poem "Zelazowa Wola" in Memory of Chopin in B minor  Op. 37 (1910)
   Symphonic Poem "Hashish" in B Flat minor  Op. 53  (1914)
     USSR State Academy Orchestra/Evgeni Svetlanov
   MCA - Melodiya  MLD-32105  1984  54:24

 This is most probably the same recording Olympia licensed from Melodiya
 mentioned by Bill above, which I have never seen, but it was played
 by Wisconsin Public Radio last year (July 20, 1998).  -Dave]
