It is interesting that Chandos has chosen to record the Dag Wiren symphonies but personally I am likely to stick with the CPO set conducted by Thomas Dausgaard I already possess.

I am afraid the same situation arose with the Chandos set of the Atterberg symphonies conducted by Neeme Jarvi. The CPO cycle conducted by Ari Rasilainen will continue to satisfy me.

There are of course a number of Swedish composers of symphonies who merit a complete recorded cycle but do not have this at present: Hilding Rosenberg, Erland von Koch, Hans Eklund, John Fernstrom. CPO are supposedly embarked on a Kallstenius cycle but only one symphony has been issued to date and who knows how long it will be before the rest appear?
