I just heard on our local radio station a wonderful recording of Roussel's Baccus and Ariadne.. turns out it was from a recording on Naxos of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Anyone know of any other recordings of this piece? Thanks

There lots of good recordings around: Eschenbach on ONDINE, Pretre on EMI, Yamada on Pentatone, Dutoit on Erato, or classics by Cluytens and Martinon ...

I am considering purchasing the 4CD Naxos set of the complete symphonies for the price of 1 CD. The Royal Scottish National Orchestra.... has anyone purchased the same?

No, but they're well thought-of.

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).
