Allan Pettersson: Symphony No. 6

Norrköping Symphony Orchestra/ Christian Lindberg

BIS on eclassical.com

This is a very "serious" symphony which has been brought to my attention as a download in the hope of boosting its sales and compared with the history of Mahler's Sixth:-

- - eclassical.com has the most cost effective method for legal downloading in the world!! Start with a super deal on Pettersson´s 6th Symphony (as exciting as Mahler 6!!). 50 years ago when Bernstein released Mahler 6 on CBS it was practically unknown. Today it is loved by millions around the world. It is with great anticipation we now releas . We believe the 6th symphony from Sweden´s symphonic master Allan Pettersson could have the same destiny as Mahler´s great 6.- -

The comparison is apt; Mahler 6 is for me his "heaviest" and the one I want to hear most infrequently and Pettersson the symphonist has largely passed us by, although he does indeed have a huge following, and this is exemplified by this in-depth review by a real enthusiast.
