Regarding John Kinsella, I only own one disc a MP with Symphonies 3&4.  I very much like the third.....very easy tonal music.  Kind of reminds me of Sibelius....Please let me know how you feel about the others....

Great to learn! Yes, the Third, aptly named 'Joie de Vivre' because that's what it sounds like, is a great symphony and was a real 'discovery' fifteen years ago. But I hold the others in a similar high esteem, especially Nos. 6, 7, 9, 10 and also the Fourth on the same Marco Polo cd (darker and less "easy" than the Third perhaps, but that is because each of Kinsella's ten symphonies has something unique to say, though most are just as communicate as the Third.) If you have a chance, find the Irish composers cd with Nos. 6 and 7.

… music is not only an `entertainment’, nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.  RVW, 1948
