George Enescu - his three mature and completed symphonies.

Symphony 1, 1905 (an excellent video)

Symphony 2, 1914 (the one with the haunting gypsy melody)

Symphony 3, 1918 (very loud in parts, then choral and mystical)

Enescu's later chamber music is very worthwhile and individual; I will look out for good versions and post links to them here. As for his opera . . .

Here is Oedipe complete in 2 hours 37 minutes - but it is only the audio, not the video:

More Enescu: here I have collected most of his shorter works. The most remarkable, perhaps, are the 1954 chamber symphony, and Vox Maris the symhonic poem from around the same time.
