Keep the compilations in mind, especially the ones for strings.If you like VW & Holst let me reiterate you MUST own Warlock's Capriole Suite...assume you already have Holst's St. Paul's Suite. Holst & VW also composed delightful folk-inspired suites for band that are well worth owninging, classics in the repertoir. If you liked Grainer, his Lincolnshire Posey for Symphonic band is an absolute must have.
There have been many recent releases of Grainger, who has been undergoing something of a revival over the past few years. Chandos has an excellent multi-volume set of his works including a nice one by Academy of St. Martins In The Fields Chamber Orchestra - several goodies on it. John Elliott Gardiner & the Monteverdi Choir have a terrific recording of Grainger.
On this side of the ocean, Thomas Canning composed a Fantasia on a Hymn of Justin Morgan, inspired by V-W's Fantasia on Tallis - it's a lovely piece on several recordings that I know of...two on Telarc, American Adagios and Into The Light; and on Decca American Dreams, by my hometown band, ISO.
You can't go wrong with old VW though. Tonight at symphony the first half was devoted to his Symphony #4, which is not very folky, but it is brilliant.
