I've been binge-ing on that recording of late. Larsson does so much with limited but attractive materials. Due to the moderate length of Larsson's melodic phrases, his second symphony stands, in my mind, kind of halfway between Beethoven's 5th, which concatenates short phrases to build up powerful paragraphs of music, and Rimsky's Antar, which concatenates appealing longer tunes (complete musical sentences) without varying them much, except for context and texture (orchestration).
