For music after 1962 I listen to Havergal Brian's Symphonies 21 -32,
Malcom Arnold's Symphonies 7 and 8, I don't have the dates for Robert
Simpson's but at a wild guess the later symphonies must have been written
after 1962.  For something a bit more modern sounding I would go for
Ligeti's Piano Concerto.  Whether any of these works meet your criteria
I can't say but I like them.
