Thank you Sicmu for the Georgi Nyaga symphony. It's not that common to run across Moldovan music of any kind. Here's a stitch of biographical detail:

Born in Bucharest, Romania, the son of composer Stefan Nyaga (1900-1951). He studied violin at the Moscow Conservatory and composition with Leonid Gurov at the Kishinev (now Chisinau) Conservatory, remaining at the latter school as a teacher and administrator. His catalogue covers varied genres from opera to solo instrumental pieces. He wrote 2 other Symphonies, Nos. 1 (1957) and 3 (1983) as well as a Chamber Symphony for Solo Violin, Violins, Piano, Clarinet and Soprano (1982).

A works list is available at:
http://russiancomposers.org.uk/page903.html

A search through Worldcat suggests that his compositions featuring violin were pretty well-received. Aside from that, there's not much info to be found.

Gheorghe Neaga ("Georgi Nyaga" is the standard reverse transliteration of the Russian transliteration...) passed away in 2003 in the USA. I recently found the score of his sonata for violin and piano in London, and shall let you know what I think once I have sight-read through it.

My mistake, I read too quickly. Choigana is a lady.

While the choral music of Svend S. Schultz (1913-1998) is popular in his native Denmark, I have been completely unable to find any recording of his symphonies. This is quite weird, since at least Nos. 3 (1955) and 4 (1957) were once quoted in the same breath as H.D. Koppel's Fifth, Holmboe's Fifth and S.E. Tarp's Second (in E flat), all remarkable works. They are said to be relatively close to Prokofiev and Shostakovich. Has anyone heard them, are there any recordings available, or should we wait for a DaCapo release?

Close enough! He is Tuvinian, born on August 27, 1976:
http://soyuzkompozitorov.ru/structure/%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B5-%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B5-%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5.html
He is thus of the same origin as Aleksej Cƣrgal-ool (1924-1989), author of a symphony (1980) and the symphonic poem "Aldan Maadƣr" (Sixty Warriors, 1957), once posted on UC.
