If you want Bax, Chandos is indeed the label to look at. The box set of his sympnonies conducted by Vernon Handley were "Recordings of the Year" a few years back as designated by several publications. The series of CDs you mention will get you all if not most of his tone poems and concertos. Bax is a composer that can be difficult for some. Many listeners find him boring, but if you like big boned, late romantic, British/Irish style orchestral music, he can make for rewarding listening. His chamber and solo piano music is very nice as well.
