A review of a new recording of the original 1907 version of Florent Schmitt's 'La Tragédie de Salomé' is available on the Europadisc website. This version, which was apparently only recorded once before, is nearly twice as long as the suite symphonique from 1910.

AFAIK the only other commercial recording of the original ballet (for chamber orchestra with soprano) was with Davin/Rhineland-Pfalz on MarcoPolo as noted in the review. There have been a couple of broadcast performances; the one with Alain Altinoglu/Frankfurt RO from January 2021 stands out and is available from HR on YouTube:
