I'm glad to hear you say it.  I love that music...........also the
exquisitely dynamic and melancholy  'Concerto for Orchestra'.  Because of
it's dynamic range, it was the first piece of classical music that I was
glad to have a CD player for reproduction.


Also, it is more abstract (please pardon my loose definition, Tom ;-)
but have you guys/gals checked out 'Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima'
by Krzysztof Penderecki?
