I went with the Debussy ( which may shock a few folks here  ;D), as the option possessed of the greatest proportional beauty ( imho ).  ;)

Dutilleux gets my vote as you didn't include Klaus Egge's First Symphony as an option.  8)

Of those works, definitely the Ravel and Dutilleux resonate with me the strongest. Two magisterial displays of French orchestral wizardry!

Dutilleux's Symphony No. 1, Webern Symphony and Chin's Violin Concerto No. 1 are not precisely works I could call "beautiful". The aesthetics of these works tells me other things.
