5.0 out of 5 stars Not for the faint hearted, 30 Oct 2007
By C. Challenger (Bradford) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Though it is the largest of the Nordic countries, no Swedish composer has a really high profile like its neighbours most famous composers: Greig, Nielsen and Sibelius. I don't think Pettersson could achieve their popularity. Brought up in poverty, he suffered illness for much of his life and neglect as a composer. It would appear these experiences influenced music which is dark, dramatic and demanding on the listener. Though the musical language is reasonably accessible, these are big works, usually in a single movement with some of them lasting over a hour. There are few easy reference points to find your way in. You could see Pettersson as a Swedish cliche; think of Bergman but without the jokes.
I realise I am not selling this well, but believe me I have enjoyed this set enormously. I don't believe everything in art should be easy. This is powerful and moving music from a determined individual. It is going to take me some time to get my head round all these symphonies, but I am finding the journey very rewarding.
If you like Russell Watson, you will probably hate these symphonies. If you think a hard-won pleasure is all the more worthwhile, try them.
