Try Tower Records online. There's a DVD of the CSO performing Mahler's 5th Symphony, among other notables.

And the difference between a regular DVD and an audio DVD is significant. Audio DVD's can only be played by certain DVD players that support them. They are audio-only. The format is supposed to yield higher quality sound than a CD (it should, given that a DVD disc can hold 3-6 times the data of a CD, though this extra space can be used to add extra channels of sound, making 5.1 channel music recordings available). However, to be able to hear these improvements, the rest of your audio system (speakers and amp/receiver) will have to be equally precise.

Unless you already own relatively high-end audio gear, save you money and buy more standard CD's instead.
