Alternatively, find a decent local amateur orchestra, and make friends 
with them... Talk to the conductor, give him the score, let them 
rehearse it. Hire/borrow a reasonable sounding room, and take along your 
PC with some microphones. You could even record at one of their 
rehersals if that's convenient.

Try youth, amateur, college and University orchestras. I'm sure that 
most of these kinds of groups would be keen to get involved. Most 
musicians like playing music...

It might not be the same as a professional orchestra, but some of them 
do sound good.
