Obviously many composers, performed in their own country, are much less (or not at all) abroad.
Let's consider Delius (certainly not overexposed in U.K.).
In my city, Torino, in a 45 years concert experience I could hear in concert just "The walk to the paradise garden", "Brigg fair" and "Two aquarelles".
Can anybody comment about Delius visibility in actual concert outside U.K.?
To the best of my recollection, the Mn. Orchestra did "Sea Drift" years and years ago and the Minnesota Opera Company did "A Village Romeo and Juliet" - also many, many years ago. That's it, I think.

Last month Sir Mark Elder conducted the Boston Symphony in Delius's Paris. I don't remember the orchestra playing any other Delius in the 40 years I've been living here.
On quite toe-curling rendering of On hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring in all the years that I've been to concerts in Holland.
Golly, remote old Minnesota may win this........heehee.....
