Gliere, Reinhold (1875-1956) - Orchestral Collection w/ conductors, soloists, & band listed on the cover art below - bargain 5-disc set; purchase stimulated by a superb review in the recent issue of Fanfare; also an outstanding review on MusicWeb HERE, where the collection was chosen as the October 2011 'Recording of the Month'.

This is my first experience w/ this Russian (Ukrainian) composer who studied at the Moscow Conservatory (teachers included Arensky & Taneyev; several of his pupils were Khachaturian & Prokofiev).  Just getting started w/ CD 1 containing Symphony No. 3 (78 minutes) about the legendary 12th century warrior Ilya Muromets - WHAT a beginning!  Looking forward to hearing the other discs - :)

Yes! Louise Farrenc! Fabulous stuff! Absolutely underrated.

Actually, anything from the CPO series is pretty good. Clara Schumann and Amy Beach come to mind as well. And then finally, this symphony by

Support Neal's recommendations above; own about a half dozen discs each of Farrenc's & Beach's music - some additions below and a few Beach suggestions; Fanny Mendelssohn is another consideration - good luck in your selections! :)

I love that 3rd Symphony, and Downes does an excellent job!

Something really lacking in my collection is work by female composers. Does anybody have any recommendations ?

I think only Karajan made a more beautiful, powerful interpretation than Kleiber's one.
