About

Christian Lindberg and the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra here present Symphony No. 6 by Allan Pettersson.

This symphony has come to be overshadowed by the success of the Seventh which was premiered a year later.

It is nevertheless an imposing work: an almost hour-long single-movement symphony in which the composer established a specific, self-contained musical style which would serve as a basis for the three symphonies that followed.

Christian Lindberg – ‘whose affinity with Pettersson’s idiom is manifest’ (Gramophone) – has previously conducted the three Concertos for String Orchestra (BISCD1590), as well as the first ever performance and recording of the First Symphony (BISCD1860).

propelled constantly onwards by the sheer force of musical argument and expression - always fundamentally tonal too - the listener's mind is unable to wander...a terrific performance under Lindberg by the astonishingly talented Norrköping Symphony Orchestra...this is one of the recordings of the year.
