Tchaikovsky: Symphonies 4 to 6, Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture, The Storm, and Overture solennelle 1812.
Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra
I'll look into everything else posted so far, but if you have any other recommendations, please do tell.

Well listen to Beethoven 6, I think it's the best of those. But listen to a quicker performance not a really slow one. His piano concertos 1, 3, 4 and 5. The Coriolanus Overture.
Tchaikovsky symphony 3 is very underrated. Also listen to his first piano concerto, serenade for strings, and ballet music (start with the shorter suite versions).
Shostakovich symphony 10.
Dvorak - cello concerto, serenade for strings.
Stravinsky - rite of spring
