Ormandy recorded all nine symphonies in the early 'sixties for (then)
Columbia Records. Nos. 3-6 are on a Sony Essential Classics 2CD set and
nos. 8-9 are on their own single CD also on Essential Classics. Sorry,
I'm at work and can't supply catalog numbers. They should be readily
available just about anywhere.
