Deryk Barker noted the re-release on Naxos of Rubinstein's 2nd symphony
(Ocean), originally on Marco Polo.  It's worth mentioning that other
versions of the symphony I've encountered have been missing a movement or
two:  at over 70 minutes, the full symphony was once beyond the technology
for a single LP.  The 1st symphony (with Ivan the Terrible) and the violin
concerto (with Cui's Suite Concertante) have already been re-released on
Naxos, presumably to be followed by the other four symphonies.  I notice
that Raff's 1st is listed in the 2002 catalogue to appear before the end of
the year.  For lovers of the Romantic period - and there don't seem to be
many of us at MCML recently if the relevant traffic is anything to go by -
pleasures in store.

A couple of other watery works that I think haven't been mentioned yet:
Glazunov's The Sea, and the Belgian composer Gilson's The Sea.
