Classical composers, symphonies


I thought I would reach out to Audiogon fans of classical music for some help, having seen the numerous posts in the afficionados thread.

I am a big fan of large orchestral works like symphonies, particularly of Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, V Williams, Wagner, Mahler, Brahms, and Bruckner(Romantic).

If you could recommend one or more additional composers to explore that are similar, who would you recommend?

Thanks in advance.
recluse
Liszt - Tone Poems and A Faust Symphony
Richard Strauss - Tone Poems ( carrying on from Liszt )
Both composers explored where music was going from the 19th century onwards.
I also love the 7 Sibelius Symphonies.
It's been recommended already by jtuba but the Schumann symphonies
are very underplayed  for as good as they are !
Thanks for the suggestions.

Something about Sibelius turned me away earlier in life, I will have to revisit 
Will listen to Nielson, Schuman, and Paganini more

Looking forward to some that I have never heard of, in craig159 post

I still find it hard to beat rachmaninov or Tchaikovsky 

I am not a big fan of Piano concertos for some reason , except maybe Rachmaninoff 's. 

Thanks again,

Will be hitting you tube or Pandora now😊
You mentioned that your not a fan of piano concerti. But I recommend you sample the Beethoven concertos, they are unlike any other. They are written in sonata form like symphonies and the orchestra plays a greater role, they are not simply accompanying the soloist.
