Sir Thomas Beecham and Jean Martinon performance versions are my recommendations.
Sir Thomas Beecham and the ORTF performed the Sym. Fantastique with a melancholy and relayed the dream like state of this work very well. The sound is more than acceptable, but do not expect audio demonstration quality.

Jean Martinon also performed the same piece with the ORTF and delivered an equally stunning performance.
