Well, maybe not symphonies according to the classic symphony form. But there are lots of 20th century classical pieces in particular in which the movements identified in the program, or on the CD, run into each other without gaps. (Sam just got a recording of Copland's Appalachian Spring that is divided into several tracks, for instance; that's definitely supposed to go without breaks, and it sounds to me as if they may have actually been recorded separately for the CD and edited with slight awkwardness.)

Also, there are CDs with odd track divisions. I have a recording of Beethoven's Ninth that divides the last movement into two tracks, one for the instrumental part at the beginning and the other at "O Freunde! nicht diese Töne..."
