No, he was continental European

This composer wrote symphonies, concerti, chamber music and opera, but he achieved major musical fame in a different area

That just leaves solo instrumental works, songs, and ...musicals? Ballet? It's not Stravinsky, as you said it wasn't a Russian...

Probably a conductor who composed. Unfortunately, it seems most of them did. Markevitch, Mengelberg, Klemperer, Busch, the lot, though perhaps not all of them wrote opera.

Not a conductor  :) and you're forgetting another musical genre

a politician?   Paderewski? 
The clip sounds like a French aspirant to Bruckner.

Pure guess: Nino Rota worked with Fellini.

I have never heard the work, so many thanks for the introduction!

Amfortas: I will contact you with an idea for the next work, since my computer is (apparently) not compatible with the downloading aspects.

It's a beautiful work from start to finish, like most of Rota

Is it one of Liszt's "other" Mephisto waltzes?
EDIT: Don't think so - but it sure sounds like it could be...

I can verify that Liszt and Alkan were alive at the same time as the mystery composer, but they were about a generation older.

The sound quality is most excellent for the "mystery" excerpt!

Was the mysterian a Slav - e.g. Scharwenka or Rubinstein?

The main theme sounds rather like the finale of Atterberg's violin concerto, I think...

Wow!  Fascinating associations!

No, not Slavic, and not Nordic.

And not a member of this group either:
