I don't know if Parsadanian's 1st Symphony 'In Memory of the Commissars of Baku' is in the set but that IMO is a hidden gem.

I like the Parsadanian.  It reminds me somewhat of Gliere.

Yes, good point.

Unfortunately, that set doesn't include any Parsadanian symphony (only a tone poem 'David of Sassoun'), but you gave me an excuse to listen to those symphonies!
The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied.

No 2 is better known but I much prefer the one commemorating the commissars of Baku.
