One orchestrated-because-the-composer-didn't: Stanford Violin Concerto no 2 (another Jeremy Dibble). One of my favourite Stanford works, and that is saying something.
One just for fun: Mackerras's Pineapple Poll from Sullivan. Just genius.
One more Dibble: extracts from Parry's (likely dreadful had it been completed) opera "Guenever", especially "King Arthur's Farewell to Guenever"

I'd second almost all of these! Some of them are probably in the pipeline and others we have practically no chance of hearing!
I might add Smyth's Entente Cordiale, but only if the score can be located. It's not known to be lost, but no one seems exactly sure where it is. Also I'd put on German's Princess of Kensington, very high on my wish list.

That would be interesting to hear. I believe that is the symphony that is complete as to melodic line, but is mostly a single note. I have a recording of a realisation of it from more recent times.
I didn't realise at first that this was the nephew of The Mountain Sylph Barnett
