Best full orchestra recordings?


In my travels to hi-fi shops I've listened to some recordings of full orchestra works, but my music collection suffers from a conspicuous absence of such recordings. I have what looks like a "greatest hits" kind of collection in this area (Copeland, Stravinsky. etc.). Since putting together a high-end system I am much more appreciative of these types of recordings. I know there's a wealth of information out there: any recommendations of orchestral works, new or old, that should be in one's collection?

One of my favorites is Neeme Jarvi conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in work of Zoltan Kodaly, i.e., Hary Janos Suite, Peacock Variations and Dances of Galanta on the Chandos label. This is one of my reference recordings for rolling tubes because it contains a wealth of orchestral color across the aural spectrum.
