Sorry Sean... didn't mean to leave you out; I just can't really remember what everyone has a passion for... I remembered Darren's because it has been mentioned on a couple of occasions recently.
anyway, I think Simon will consider himself to have been very well served with enticing suggestions... ;-)
Fret not, it is difficult to remember eveyone's likes and dislikes. I really like Froggy music: Roussel, Fauré, Debussy, Ravel et al.

^^ I know what you mean. I remember being quite put out, the time you 'accused' me on CMG of not liking Chopin, when the offender was Fergus, all along... LOL

Sorry. One more:-
It has the best
Bolero ever(!) (if you like that sort of thing). The Roussel 3rd Symphony is one that I hope Sean has heard. Wonderful stuff :-)

I love it, it is the one Roussel work that I return to time and time again, and this is my favourite performance:
This is well worth having too:

I think that those works and more are included in the Brilliant Classics set that I mentioned earlier.
