For years and years there have been people collecting (and sometimes disseminating) such performances on tape. I have lists from decades ago!
Internet radio is another source, with orchestras themselves now sometimes providing the material. I have a widebandwidth-downloaded LA Phils concert that sounds pretty damn good, although mostly they won't be like that.
For my own listening I always prefer live music, however badly recorded, to studio work -- heartless and bland, albeit "perfect".
Boston radio stations used to broadcast (besides the BSO live) series by the NY Phils, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee (great little band!), St. Louis, San Francisco and Detroit; those days are mostly gone.
