I know of two that are well worth the trouble.  Erato's budget-priced
Collection series contains Dutoit doing Honegger's 1st, Pastorale d'ete
and the three symphonic movements.  On Ultima is a 2-CD set of the Roussel
symphonies.  The 3rd is not in the same class as Bernstein's, nor the best,
IMO, Munch's, but the 1st and 2nd are rarely recorded, and the set is worth
acquiring for these alone.
