I cannot but agree with the earlier comments.
I remember that I have found the orchestral playing even a little disturbing (and spoiling a possibly better hearing experience).

Jeffrey Tate conducted the Fifth Symphony, Alun Francis the Second Symphony, Frank Shipway the Tallis Fantasia, the Lark ascending and the Oboe Concerto, the German Wifried Boettcher another performance of the Tallis Fantasia.

Jn my city, Torino, albeit in 50 years of concerts I heard in actuasl concerts
Symphony n.2
Symphony n.4
Symphony n.5
The lark ascending
Tallis Fantasia (two or three times)
Oboe Concerto
Tuba Concerto
Fantasia on Greensleeves
On Wenlock Edge (chamber version)
Songs of Travel
The above were performed by "domestic" forces (some with British conductors)
Symphony n.4 was performed by Colin Davis and the LSO

Apart from the Ravel, I heard in actual concerts (just once) Prokofiev's Fourth and Britten's Diversions.

The Fourth with Kirill Petrenko and the BPO was released in a limited edition of one thousand copies on the BPO label.

I share affection for Piernè Cydalise et le Chévre-Pied (I own recordings by Martinon -suite n.1 and by the less known J.B.Mari- suites n.1 and n.2).

Of the many versions of the Chausson Symphony i have heard, I would prefer Munch (old acceptable sound).. Among the relatively recent, Fournet.

There is also the "Rapsodie négre" for voice and small ensemble by a young Francis Poulenc (1917).

I have many recordings of Roussel orchestral music (and mostly of the symphonies)  and , IMHO,I would rank high the Naxos set conducted by Denève (who once conducted the complete Bacchus et Ariane in my city).
There is also a fine fifth Naxos Cd from the same forces (Le Festin de l'Araigneè ballet complete and two orchestral suites from the fine opera Padmavati).

I like the Scherzo, which sometimes (in any case very seldom) is performed on its own and seems to me to stand out.

Of the "Wallenstein" trilogy  there are also recordings of Dervaux, already mentioned, and Thierry Fischer (Hyperion). Of the last panel "La mort de Wallenstein" existed (also on Cd) an old Supraphon by Zoltan Fekete, coupled to "Istar" and two Berlioz overtures.

The Lp above contains the Triple Concerto, the Suite en RE  dans le style ancien, and the incidental music for Karadec  op.34 (Prèlude-Chansone-Noce Bretonne). Some recordings of the last exist.

The concerto for piano, flute, cello and string orchestra quoted by Adriano in post 19 was released in 1982 by Erato with Rampal, Duchable, Lodeon, J.F.Paillard and his orchestra.
It has just now been released as Cd in a box dedicated to J.F.Paillard.......of 134 Cds! I remain satisfied with the Lp.

Literally historical in the d'Indy discography is a recording of "La mort de Wallenstein" (last panel of the early symphonic tryptich "Wallenstein") conducted by the composer himself . I have it on a vinyl of the rather esoteric  Canadian label "Rococo" (no credits for the orchestra or time of recording).

If I remember well, Kirill Petrenko performance of n.4 with the BPO was released as Cd in the limited number of one thousand copies destined to the subscribers of one year of BPO concerts in streaming.
