Wow, I never thought I would at least strike a gold mine with my question... Thank you very much for these answers, I´m going to look right into the pages you offered me. And for those who like overwhelming orchestral music (with just a dash of decadence in it) should listen to a fine recording of Saint Saëns‘ Organ Symphony (as I said, fourth movement). Thanx again for your help!! Yours Friedhelm
