Please amend my following post to exclude symphony 9, and include 6, which is a fabulous work.. The Mesto Symphonic Poem and The Symphonic Movement (usually coupled with Symphony 2) are also not to be missed.
I have mixed emotions about Pettersson - IMHO, when he is good, he is magnificent - symphony 7,8 and 9 and 2 in that order esp 7, are great as are his Concerti. When he is not good, he is brooding,wallowing, wailing and requires the proper mindset(to be kind). His later symphonies seem less inspired and written upon demand rather than inspiration and I have purchased them all.
