Frank Cordell? Raymond Leppard? More Clifton Parker.
As regards that Korda Rozsa, I'd doubt it, since (a) Chandos prefer an available suite, (b) the score Mss are lost, and (c) they're not representative of his most famous material, though a good 'Double Life' suite would be up their alley.

John Greenwood, a very good suggestion there are also some surviving manuscripts.
There should be enough manuscript material for a 3rd Malcolm Arnold disc.
A second Clifton Parker, John Addison or Alan Rawsthore would also be nice.
Benjamin Frankel has been served by other labels but there is so much material that hasn't been touched.
Some others to consider:
James Bernard, Humphrey Searle, Buxton Orr, Gerard Schurmann, Roberto Gerhard, Matyas Seiber, Richard Arnell, John Veale, Bernard Stevens, Franz Reizenstein, Liz Lutyens, Antony Hopkins (not the actor), Walter Goehr, Frank Cordell, Howard Blake and even Benjamin Britten!
Some might need to share a disc like Leighton Lucas and Arthur Benjamin because of limited number of scores or not enough manuscripts surviving, but still a lot to explore...
Any sponsors?

I've picked up many Chandos titles. With few (if any) exceptions, they are a label which can be trusted to turn out superb product. I always know their performances and production will be first-rate.
I agree up to a point ...........but am I the only person on the planet who finds that the recording levels are way off.......I am continually having to use the volume control handset as the highs are too high and the lows are way to low...........not just on this latest recording but on almost all of the previous releases............there is never a time I can fully listen to an even stable sound level without altering the volume level up and down.........

I bought the Ralph Vaughan Williams Collection (3 Disc Set) a few years ago. I found those CDs virtually unlistenable due to what you are saying - excessive high and excessive lows so that I had to constantly adjust the volume. Are all of the Chandos recordings like this? - if so I will avoid them.
