I don't think that the singular form (Symphony No. 1, No. 2) is
illogical because I read it as "Symphony No. 1 and Symphony No. 2".
If we were to write the full release title for a disc that has two
symphonies on it, we would either write "Symphony No. 1 / Symphony No.
2" or "Symphonies No. 1 & [No. ]2".   We have made the first form
shorter by simply writing "Symphony No. 1 / No. 2" so I don't think
it'd be hard to say that "Symphony No. 1, No. 2" means the same.

I wish I could explain it better than that :)
