Einojuhani Rautavaara (Finland, 1928) is one of the most gripping living
composers, imho.

The Ondine label has released many CDs of his music.  I'd recommend ODE
881-2: aside from his VC, it has "Angels and Visitations" and "Isle of
Bliss."  There are two Naxos CDs of his music: one for solo piano, the
other with two concertos and a symphony.

On the wild guess that you may be in Hong Kong, I wouldn't be surprised if
your public library had some music by him.
