[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

Ah, so it was!  Well, just for balance:

Poulenc: Dialogues of the Carmelites
Varese: Poeme Electronique

Imagination + discipline = creativity

Coincidentally, these have all been works which have really impacted me recently:

Braga Santos: Symphony no. 4
Damase: Symphonie
Finzi: Cello Concerto
Kabeláč: The Mystery of Time
Korngold: Symphony in F-sharp
Shostakovich: Cello Concerto no. 1 (or Symphony no. 10)

Bonus choice:
Martinů: Symphony no. 6 "Fantaisies symphoniques"
"Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music" - Sergei Rachmaninoff

My choices currently would be (alphabetically by composer):

- Pierre Boulez: Pli selon pli (although this is cheating just a bit, as the final touches to the work—not considering the composer's constant revisions over later years—are from the early 60s).
- Luigi Dallapiccola: Canti di liberazione
- George Enescu: Chamber Symphony, op. 33
- Luigi Nono: Polifonica - Monodia- Ritmica
- Karlheinz Stockhausen: Kontra-Punkte
- Igor Stravinsky: Agon
- Igor Stravinsky: Canticum Sacrum
