A good place to start is Toch's third symphony, in the old Steinberg/Pittsburgh Symphony recording remastered on a budget-priced EMI Matrix 24 CD. [It is coupled with Hindemith's Mathis der Maler (Steinberg) and Frank Martin's Petite Symphonie Concertante by Stokowski.] I also like Toch's Five Pieces for Winds and Percussion, Op. 83, available on a Virgin Classics with Hindemith's wind septet and Weill's concerto for violin and winds.
