My favorite set of The Brahms Symphonies is by Swarowski! Fabulous renderings. I will need to look up the orchestra..

Sculthorpe's music is haunting and like NO ONE ELSE. While I enjoy just about all I have heard by Sculthorpe, I think his most unforgettable work is Irkanda IV, which is the most desolate despairing work you will ever hear.
IMHO, he is one the the great composers of our times. I share your grief over this great loss.

Look similar to a post I made at another music site..thanks for passing it on..

I see no mention of Europe in the thread title.
There must be a boatload of fine music written about the bleak north from Canada..
perhaps most of it is too recent

Clearly a rarity and clearly in the domain of the Romantics, members should take in this live concert at Swedish radio
Wilhelm Stenhammar - Symphony No. 1 in F major.
Concert with the Royal Philharmonic, Stockholm.Martin Sturfält, piano. Conductor: Andrew Manze
Concert 27/3, Stockholm Concert Hall.

There are so many good ones to choose from, but one that definitely stands out to me is the theme from the epilogue of Joly Braga Santos' 4th symphony.

outstanding selection!!

Edmund Rubbra(1901- 1986)
Variations on 'The Shining River', Op. 101
Variations on a Phyrgian Theme, Op.105
Handel-Rubbra - Variations & Fugue on a Theme of  Handel Op. 24 (orch. Rubbra)
Rubba was unquestionably a composer in the romantic vein.

Vintage RVW - a fine piece!!

No, Delius is definitely sung.  Quite why though is another matter - I've just resurrected a very old thread in which I nominate him as possibly the only composer I don't get at all.

Delius must be like liver...either you can't stand the smell of it or you revel in it.
I despise liver(and hard rock), but Delius floats my boat..

a very fine piece of music..
should be more frequently played..

Edward German: Symphony No. 2 'Norwich'

This is the CD for opus 26:

Take note of this:
