Holsts The Planet Suite (well, some of it).
La Vie Parisienne, by Jacques Offenbach, might be suitable. It's performed in it's entirety (in an utterly brilliant modern interpretation) here. (A CD version will just have the music).

Thank you.
I was thinking more of a compilation type CD, with pieces from several composers?
Seek out a 'Vivaldi's greatest hits' type CD and stand by for uplifting....
Or this if you don't want a single composer:

The best place to find those, somewhat oddly, isn't HMV or Amazon, it's a supermarket. Sainsbury's had a good range in just before Christmas, so it might still be worth looking there. (Their compilation disks tend to be themed, such as 'relaxing', 'rousing', etc, so you could probably find something suitable for your tastes).

Otherwise, if you don't mind three composers from the same family, the 6 CD set is well-priced and has fantastic reviews:

This might also be worth considering:

However this appears to be truly outstanding value (£6.89 for 3 CDs) and has a really impressive collection of tracks:

Try something by Andre Rieu - even better, one of his dvd's, particularly Roses from the South - they are so uplifting
