If you like his Symphonies I recomend Dvorak, Sibelius and Shostakovich. Recomended symphonies would be Dvorak's 8th and 9th, Sibelius 4th & 7th and Shostakovich's 7th, 8th & 9th. Dvorak and Sibelius also did a bunch of short orchestral pieces called Tone Poems that are fantastic.

Not wishing to detract at all from your helpful information, the webpages that I mention, in my posts, that have additional information about the albums sometimes have the same kind of information that you've given. I've noticed that three or four times, at least. In the case of this post of mine today, however, the kind of information that you gave is lacking for some reason. So, thanks.
