Title: Torbjorn Iwan Lundquist (1920-2000): Symphonies Nos. 3 and 4 Post by: Dundonnell on October 26, 2018, 08:05:12 pm If (like me) you are a bit of a sucker for gloomy, rather grim Scandinavian symphonies of the Allan Pettersson variety you might be interested in this Sterling reissue of radio broadcasts of two symphonies by the Swedish composer Torbjorn Iwan Lundquist.

Not masterpieces perhaps but certainly to my particular taste.

I used to have the Lundquist 3rd Symphony on record, an attractive piece, more pastoral than any Petersson, to my ear closer to Larsson, Wiren or Rosenberg's 6th.
