If you include Stravinsky then I guess you'll accept little-known pieces from well-known composers, rather than things that are real unknowns.
So here are three suggestions:
Vaughan Williams Ninth Symphony.
Weber Concertino for Horn (MUCH better than the clarinet concerti.)
Beethoven Triple Concerto.
For the Beethoven, try to get hold of the recording with Paul Badura-Skoda on the piano. It existed both on vinyl and on CD. I don't know of any recording that gives a more convincing impression of how music might _really_ have sounded in Beethoven's day. Warts and all, with some appalling intonation. The best bit is the middle section of the last movement, when PB-S hits the poor unfortunate 1815 Broadwood so hard that it sounds more like a harpsichord. Subtle and beautiful it is not, but it is wonderfully convincing. Beethoven meets Punk Rock, if you like.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.
To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
