And I will have to look up Diepenbrock and Pijper, Don.
Diepenbrock was a contemporary of Mahler and primarily composed vocal works. Pijper lived in the first half of the 20th century, died in 47 of cancer. Both interesting and worth a look.

I have that recording on CD, it was my first introduction to Bruckner and I LOVED it.
