Can you recommend something similar to Henryk Górecki (melancholy but with with strong rhythm)?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ypgkeREw2w
^ I really love these pieces by Górecki, although the second movement is clearly played too fast in this rendition.
What I'm looking for is something with a brooding introduction (like part I above), perhaps followed by a very strong, more upbeat rhythmic section (like section II above), then perhaps once again reverting back to the former brooding, lurching, mood (like part III above). Not specifically in this order, but this sort of overall feel.
Something like Olivier Messiaen? I'm not too sure. Any suggests would be welcomed.

I hope you know of the Henryk Górecki Symphony No. 3 (a symphony of sorrowful songs) THE recording is with Dawn Upshaw, Soprano.
There is always the deeply moving and beautiful 'Socrate' of Eric Satie - a piece I feel is much underplayed / performed.
and I strongly suggest you listen to Lucas Foss: Time Cycle.
EDIT ADD: Messiaen: Trois petites Liturgies de la Présence Divine.
Nikolai Korndorff: Hymn III for orchestra
Best regards.
