Many thanks for these works! Wagner is only remembered for his operas, I think.
But his other works are amazing too! There's a playlist on YouTube that contains a lot of rare pieces by Wagner. You can find that playlist here:

Well, only well-remembered for his operas and his Siegfried-Idyll perhaps, but a fair amount of other works have been recorded and even multiply-recorded. There's still despite that a fair amount that's hardly been recorded at all, so far as I know- perhaps not at all, though I'd suggest looking through several times of sources to be (more) sure of that, in the cases of miscellanea of well-known composers :)
(again - different performances of such works, especially if they're more convincing than already-available ones, or shine different light (and aren't commercially available), are afaik welcome in the Downloads section. The YouTube playlist is probably worth hearing in my opinion (and I know that at IMSLP- where we try to be very careful, most of the time, about © of material uploaded to our site (except maybe with WIMA items where the merge simply overwhelmed us- erm- not going there.)- links to items on other sites, whose © status is more in doubt, are actually more ok by us, certainly far, far more ok than uploading such items to our own servers ;) )
Don't forget Michel Plasson's interesting EMI CD of 1997 with the Dresdner Philharmonie and Dresden Male Choirs with following program:
Eine Faust-Ouvertüre
Festgesang: Der Tag erscheint
An Weber's Grabe: Hebt an den Sang
Siegfried-Idyll
Trauersinfonie
Das Liebesmahl der Apostel
