Olivier Messiaen in turn studied under fellow French composer Paul Dukas. Dukas's first recording (that I could find) was the popular 1937 recording of The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Scherzo for Orchestra) made by Leopold Stokowski (again) and the Philadelphia Orchestra. It was packaged with another recording and released as an album in 1939.
Sidenote: I believe (though not 100% certain) that this is the same recording used in Disney's Fantasia.
Here is the discography surrounding Paul Dukas's debut album:
