Pick up Shostakovich's quartets.
Get Maxim Vengerov's performance of the 1st Violin Concertos of Shostakovich and Prokofiev, conducted by Rostropovich... I GUARANTEE you there's nothing more (maybe as, but not more) intense than that. And beautiful.
Done. There's so much more out there, but you can't get more intense than oppressed Russian (genius) artists.
_____
well... I'll add a few more... Radiohead's "Ok Computer"... Stravinsky's "Sacre du Printemps" ("Rite of Spring")... Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew" double album.... Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon"...
