Seek suggestions for mid-classic organ & orchestra


I love the organ portions of St. Saens 3rd, but there's too little of it (especially since its called the "Organ Symphony"). I'd appreciate suggestions for similar, rousing, spirited orchestral works with organ like the St. Saens or Liszt's "Battle of the Huns". I'm looking for melodic thunderous plaster-cracking stuff...I'm not into baroque organ work. Suggestions will be appreciated.

In my opinion, pickings are a bit slim for what you describe. Here are two you might try...
Poulenc - Concerto for Organ, String and Timpani
Poulenc - Organ Concerto

Of course, if you would like to just luxuriate in some amazing and powerful (solo) organ music, listen to the Franck "Piece Heroique" or the Vierne "Symphony 5" or the Karg-Elert "Symphony Chorale" or the Widor "Symphony 5".
