The Symphony can be heard on You Tube albeit in poor 1940's sound from a Japanese recording. I am aware of 3 uploads. Avoid the Naxos improved sound version for the final-fourth movement as it lacks the final moments. I have read that the performance is somewhat wayward in its tempo.
If you like Fedra, the Summer Concerto and the Piano Concerto you may not like the Symphony. It is more akin, in my mind, to the Cello Concerto and Violin Concerto and altogether more somber.
The new Naxos release holds the prospect of hearing some of the rhythmic and orchestral textures that are lost in the 1940 recording.
