Your list is an interesting mix of various styles.  And as you say, the
chance of hearing almost any of the orchestral works played by an American
symphony orchestra is not very large.  In my mind the standard repertory is
absurdly narrow, but the counterargument is simply yhat the audience likes
its Beethoven and Brahms, and that is all there is to it.  Be thankful for
recordings.
