I'd suggest Verklärte Nacht and then Gurre-Lieder for the next Schoenberg to explore: they are just as good as the (fantastic) Pelleas, and from the same period of his life.

I'm thinking I must have heard some of his later stuff already, but I'm not good with names on classical pieces.
Oh and a couple days ago I got two new CD's, so I've been listening to some Bartók (string quartets) and some Mussorgsky (Pictures at an exhibition plus various other, smaller piano pieces). Getting along with both really well so far
