Hmm, I'm one of those unconvinced by Dutoit's Planets. The composer, Boult

only listened to the once, but it sounds promising.

In which case I'd suggest the selection under Scherchen on a deleted MCA
Double Decker which I think you can find at Berkshire. Performances to
convince you that Liszt was a great orchestral composer.
