4.0 out of 5 stars An old recording, but clear and very moody, February 26, 2007

This review is from: Pettersson: Symphony No. 2 / Mesto for String Orchestra (Audio CD)

The Alun Francis recording is newer, and one can hear fine details which are not heard in this older recording. But I feel that this older recording has more clearly defined moods:- the quiet, very sad passages to which the music frequently returns, is compassionate and therapeutic. The biting end is masterfully performed, but with more emotion than with Francis. Both versions offer an arduous experience, for Pettersson never fails to take us to the most harrowing landscapes.
