I came across all the above as I was actually trying to find recordings of music by Vasili Kalafati (Greek-Russian, 1869-1942) which I know have been recorded by that orchestra and also by the Athens State Orchestra.  Namely, his Symphony, "Legenda" symphonic poem, and Polonaise.  If anyone is familiar with researching in Greece, I would be very grateful!
