The Juniper Tree is from this period too, here is an excerpt. One of the great pieces; Richard Emskey composed really great things over a very short period.

Maxwell Davies' Aves Maria Stella is another classic from this period

His masterpiece imo, and the ideal balance between his early provocateur aesthetic (which I favour) and his sadly underwhelming transformation into an elder statesman of British music. The Fires of London recording is canonical, but I quite like Gemini's as well, if only for its engineering, which really brings out the work's tightly woven strands.

Afraid not. My ears are impervious to his music. Ludwig van (the film) is kind of great, though.
