I did mention other sets in one of my other posts on this thread, but, if you want specifics, here are just a few:
I have one caveat with this recording and that is the edition of the E-flat symphony (No. 3) which Macal uses, which, amazingly, does not correspond to ANY version of the symphony that Dvorak actually knew in his own lifetime. I don't know of any other recording of this symphony that uses this edition (a Simrock edition, which came out after Dvorak had already died). Despite its weaknesses (near the end of the first movement especially), it's still interesting to hear.
Also, Pesek's set was just reissued last year:
Pesek divides the works between the RLPO and the CzPO - I had some of the individual discs when they were first issued. I believe that Pesek had his own jazz band before he started getting into classical conducting (perhaps a bit like Andre Previn I guess, and a few others), and I find he often brings a fresh viewpoint to many of his interpretations. As a matter of fact, I just ordered this set myself - some of the Amazon resellers have it at an extremely low price.
BTW, I totally agree with your statement, "A recording can be a fresh discovery for me whether it was recorded this year, 10 years ago or 30 or fifty." The same is true for me too. Nevertheless, your list did appear a bit confined to me (with regard to release dates) - but, hey, each to his own! ;-)
