Not d'Albert. While not by a British composer, this piece is linked to an English historical figure.

I am really struggling to think of what this is! But whatever it is, it is so so beautiful!
Not at all confident with this vote (!), but could it be Respighi? Certain parts of the orchestration made me think of his style...

Whatever it is, I look forward to finding out so I can listen to it in full! :)

No one so far. Hint: the composer shares a surname with a famous actress.

haha ;) I had a sudden burst of possible victory when I knew there was an actor/actress called Nielsen... but the music sounded absolutely nothing like his......   :-[

Maybe you could give us some more clues? ;) I really want to find out what this one is... it's beautiful! :)

Edward MACDOWELL  - Hamlet and Ophelia   ?  (although technically Hamlet was a Dane)
with x-ref to Andie Macdowell and the women's  choral piece Sunmmer Wind

If not, keep this going for a bit.  I have the feeling members are looking through many lists, lilke Times crossword solvers thumb through Chambers.
