A tiny addition to the discography.
The 1935 "Pinocchio" overture exists/existed on the esoteric label ASdisc (Kussewitzky and B.S.O., 1945 live rec.).

Also the cello concerto has been on CDs on Albany (in 2000, coupled with an impromptu for cello solo op.90 and the cello sonata op.50) and Pan Classics (is this the Neos CD you mean? I see it also listed as a Sound Arts CD) ca.2002 (coupled with the first of the divertimenti op.37 and, again, the cello sonata, I think). While the op.38 has been coupled with his piano quintet on Talent around 2005.

The premiere recording (I think) of Symphony 5 was reissued on Albany Records in 1989.
A 1990 collection of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's recordings issued on CD also has Pinocchio :)
If you're sticking to available-in-stores (as opposed to, say, libraries) recordings those two can probably be skipped I think (though the Albany Records one may now be online as part of a Louisville First Edition thing.) Hrm.
Yep: Peter Pan, a Notturno Op.77, his Miniature Overture and Jephta are on a one-composer 2005 Santa Fe Music CD that's sold as CD (still in stock) and download from Amazon, as download via iTunes, etc. - so those -are- still available, my mistake...
