The way I heard Chailly, he is mainly into modernist music. Or was. He
may have changed by now.
 There is a Chailly Stravinsky box, eleven CDs in all, of which I have
about six in single issues. Chailly's is the best of today's Stravinsky
on CD, together with the Salonen set with the London Philharmonic on
Sony.
 I also have the double CD with Hindemith Kammermusiken. Terrific.
 The Concertgebouw reverb was not a good fit for Chailly.

He has changed, or so.
Maybe I have the same Stravinsky (around 6 discs too, anyhow not 11) and certainly the same Hindemith recordings.
Re the modernistic he did a lot,mostly Stravinsky, but he was never a completist. He did not much with Prokofiev; a little more Varèse, Schoenberg, Messiaen, Zemlinsky, Janacek, Ravel, Schnittke.
