This probably isn't what you are looking for.  After you do find what you
want, try The Planets performed on two pianos on Naxos 8.554369.  For me,
it's very instructive to hear a big orchestral work performed as a chamber
piece.  I'm sure this isn't the right way to put it, but I can hear the
line of the music much more clearly.
