Profound thanks to Karl Miller for supplying these Eklund recordings and to John (jowcol) for uploading them for us :) :)
Eklund was a remarkable composer. I happen to rate him up there with Allan Pettersson as one of the very best of the more modern but not avant-garde Swedish composers.
We already have the symphonies Nos. 1, 3, 6, 7, 8 and 11 but now we have added Nos. 2, 4, 5, and the Piano Concerto. Only the Ninth and Tenth symphonies elude us.
This will provide a wonderful opportunity to sample more of the music of a composer unaccountably ignored by commercial recording companies ::) Eklund is, apparently, of no interest to Robert von Bahr and BIS :(
(With the You Tube additions of more previously unheard British music today has been like Christmas-time, unwrapping musical presents :))
