I see that the September issue of the magazine which has not a lot of admirers (admittedly with reasons) on this forum , after a survey about Schubert's Great Symphony, suggesting further symphonies to explore , indicates Raff Second, Rufinatscha Sixth (ignoring, however, the new numbering) and Fuchs First. (Also Bruch First).
BTW the same magazine encloses a recording of Sibelius Kullervo , which has a fairly rich discography, but is rare in concert halls.

Yes, I meant to mention this too. Kudos to the magazine - for once.

I'd give them more credit than that, at least from time to time (their Elgar issue helped me re-evaluate a composer I may have been too ready to "pigeonhole", mostly by emphasizing his lovely undersung (in the US?) works, e.g. his partsongs), but I catch your meaning.
