Have you heard Reger's Mozart Variations and Fugue for orchestra? This work
is everything but "cold"! Lovely music indeed...

Good to know that I'm not the only guy here on the "dry" side ;-)
Concerning the Op.1 question, I would answer Brahms' first piano sonata
and Corelli's 12 Trio Sonatas Op. 1, which are part of the "mainstream"
baroque chamber repertoire (if there's such a thing!). Recently, I
discovered Einojuhani Rautavaara's "Fiddlers for string orchestra", a work
that is a repertoire piece in... Finland. You can find a good recording
of this colorful work on a Naxos CD entitled "Finnish Orchestral
Favorites". Great stuff!
