      jlw, if that's the sort of thing for you, may I propose the orchestral works of Vierne, Guy-Ropartz, Rabaud, and if you don't mind crossing the border to my home town (home street, actually), Guillaume Lekeu.

        At the moment for me it's Haydn's Sturm und Drang Symphonies, in the Pinnock/English Concert recordings. Can't have too much Haydn, really

          The Haydn on COTW has been real balm for the soul, travelling home after some torrid days this week! Wonderful.
          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            Something of a Venus de Milo: Mahler's 5th by Chailly/Royal Concertgebouw. Marvellous but for, would you believe it, the adagietto, in which the harp sounds like a tired rubber band. I keep playing it in the hope that the arms will grow back.

              I was listening to a mix of Pinnock recordings that you mentioned and Fischer in the same works. Great stuff.
