I am certainly not a classical music polymath; however, I have scores of tapes, etc., and in the many years of collecting I have never found one by a Baltimore Symphony. But then I have never found a Baltimore Oriole baseball card.
Lisitska and Skala need to round up all the other orchestral dumpees and form a touring orchestra.

Good to hear; thanks.
I prefer “fluter tooter” to describe flute players.
How can she play the flute with a mask on?
“I am certainly not a classical music polymath”
Yes I think we have figured that out at this point since you seem blissfully ignorant of the top 20 symphonies in the country. Baltimore being one of them. 😏
Top twenty symphonies in the USA means nothing. There are five world top grade, five below them, and then you can search for Baltimore. It is probably a step above the Branson ensemble.
Actually the Baltimore Symphony is ranked around 13. Slightly ahead of the Atlanta Symphony. Its obvious you are not a real knowledgeable person in this area and that’s OK most people aren’t. If my mother wasn’t a former opera singer and my niece a professional flautist I wouldn’t likely know either. So now you have learned something new. Its a good thing.
Give it up. Accept new knowledge. Confused and loving it is no way to go through life. 😉
