    The Gorecki Totus tuus is stunning imo.

    'O magnum mysterium' by morten lauridsen is equally lovely.

    I'm really into music by Vasks just now. I love Distant Light and Plainscapes It's very different but just magical! For me anyway

    Eric. Whitacre.

    As far as orchestral goes then try Nielsen symphonies (he died in 1930s) or some Delius - I'd recommend 'sea drift'.

    I'd recommend from C20th:

    Rachmaninoff
    Scriabin
    Medtner
    Cziffra

    and from C21st:

    Hamelin
    Rzewski
    Volodos

    What about Toru Takemitsu? Although not a Western composer, he was heavily influenced by Messiaen (also great!) and is pobably the most well known of Japanese composers.
