Ah! Okay! I have been collecting Myaskovsky recordings for many years. The only complete cycle of the symphonies is by Svetlanov. It is good to have his set, because it includes the *only* recordings of Symphonies 3, 4, 13, 14, 18 and 20. However, in many cases, if there are other recordings, Svetlanov leaves much to be desired. For example, his recordings of 5 and 6 are very bad. We are lucky to have other recordings, especially of these two great works.
In addition to the conductors you mention, many other conductors have recorded one or more Myaskovsky symphonies -- Rozhdestvensky Rabl Downes Manolov Kondrashin Liss Ginzberg Halasz Stankovsky Gauk Mikailov Sergeyev Gould Ormandy Kovalev
Nikoleyev also conducted a recording of Symphony 21, but others are better.
As for Myaskovsky's other orchestral works, there are many recordings of the violin concerto and cello concerto, of course, but also his many other orchestral works. Svetlanov made the only recording of some of these, but others have been recorded by multiple conductors.
