Plenty of fantastic music already listed in this thread, so there's only one other artist I can think to mention, which is Hadal Sherpa, who just put out their debut last year. Very easy-on-the-ears instrumental prog in the psychedelic vein, not unlike the Swedish band Agusa.

Yes, thatīs the one, really great! His second symphony, also named Emmi, has performed in 2004, but although Finnish radio recorded it, it hasnīt still released. And I donīt understand why. Also itīs kind of mystery what happened to Pekka. There were some of his other music also performing in 2004, also he was touring with his band, after that it was just silence and then suddenly his death 2008. Of course he has had alcohol problem during his life, but still I donīt quite understand what happened to him before his death.

His first symphony got at least one really bad review in the main Finnish newspaper, havenīt found any reviews from his second one.

It was a classic music reviewer who reviewed the first one. I think he was saying that Pekka hadnīt got the right techniques to make proper symphony. Also heīs saying, it was just entertaining music, same kind as some composers make to the movies, not serious music at all. I think Pekka took it quite hard, heīs from the family where are lots of classic music players. I think he made it really seriously and to me it also works really well! I hear there influences from Sibelius, but itīs not just a copy of Sibelius music, it really has the same feelings as in Pekkaīs music in his other works. And really I think symphony orchestra is a good form to perform his music!

There is also band called "Fantasia" in the seventies. Not the greatest one, but interesting anyway. Reminds a little bit Wigwam at the "Nuclear Nightclub" times. They made only one album. Hereīs three first songs from that album:
