Colin, you're doing a fantastic job. But... what are your sources? Is it possible to add sources to your catalogues as well? It gives those who are interested the possibility to go for further searching.
I'm interested in Diepenbrock: he was a very erudite person. His music is fascinating.

For Diepenbrock I used-

I am happy to try to add sources in future I have gone back and done so for all the Dutch composers whose orchestral music I have catalogued.

Sometimes the source which should be most useful turns out to be disappointingly vague or incomplete. This is proving to be the case for Cornelis Dopper

http://www.cornelisdopper.nl/   is a disappointing site so I am having to use the collection of Dopper's manuscripts at http://www.nederlandsmuziekinstituut.nl/en/collections/312

"Im Grossen Schweigen" exists also as a Decca Cd (H.Hagegard, R.Chailly, RCO).

1895:  "Rey van Edelingen" is in reality the title of one of the four parts of "Reyzangen uit Gysbrecht van Aemstel" [Choruses from GvA] on texts by Joost van den Vondel for chorus and orchestra, 37 minutes. There's a performance by fours soloists, the Netherlands Radio Choir and the Netherlands RSO under Ed Spanjaard on Composers Voice CV121.

The same cd with the same performers doing the 1906 "Hymne aan Rembrandt" for soprano, female choir and orchestra, which takes 24'16 minutes here.

Taking another cd from my shelves, Donemus Composers' Voice Hightlights CV50, I find it contains live performances by Riccardo Chailly and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of:

• Hymne an die Nacht (Arleen Auger soprano, RCO under Riccardo Chailly)
• Overture 'De Vogels' [The Birds], RCO under Riccardo Chailly
• Symphonic Suite 'Elektra', RCO under Riccardo Chailly.

[Richard Leigh]

I have a recording of "Wenn Ich Ihn Nur Haben" which I must have copied from a record years ago. It's the piece which started my enthusiasm for Diepenbrock's music, but I can't remember where I got it from. Maybe an anthology on an old Donemus vinyl album? Can anyone tell me?  It really ought to be reissued, or recorded again.
The issue of the recent 8-disc box is a miracle. Every home should have one.

[M. Yaskovsky]

The Dutch record label ETCETERA released an Anniversary Edition on 8 CD's and 1 DVD with an almost complete overview of his works. It has recordings done between 1960 and 2012. KTC 1435 is their catalogue number.
The Elektra Suite was by the way arranged by Eduard Reeser.
