 Hey hey,
 sorry to ask this here, but I'm not very familiar with 19th century music, 
 which is what I'm interested in. I know that this list harbours some 
 connaisseurs of classical music. :)

 I'm looking for symphonies with good examples of independent voices or 
 counterpunctual techniques. [...]

 So, if someone could suggest more works, or composers, which are famed for 
 their strong, parallel voices, I'd be very grateful. 

A master of counterpoint during the last years of 19th century was surely J.
Brahms.

I suggest listen to his 4 symphonies [1] and its beautiful vocal and chorals
works [2] (among them [3] [4] [5] which are simply wonderful imho).

Good listening!
A.
