KURZBESCHREIBUNG
This release completes the important BIS survey of Allan Pettersson's profound and deeply moving symphonies. The longest in duration of Pettersson's symphonies, composed during a time of increasing debilitation. The Norrkoping Symphony Orchestra, led by Christian Lindberg, has garnered critical acclaim for this cycle. Bonus DVD: an 81-minute documentary about the composer made for Sveriges Television by Peter Berggren. English subtitles. Hybrid 5.0 Surround Sound Super Audio CD.

REZENSION
'Lindberg and his orchestra drill straight to the core of these symphonies.Balances are entirely natural and there's a pleasing tactility to the sound that will surely please the audiophiles; just sample the dark, menacing conclusion to the Ninth, with its march-to-the-scaffold-like taunt of brass and fright of drums.' --MusicWeb International

'The multi-talented Christian Lindberg here continues his cycle of Pettersson symphonies for BIS. A review of an earlier issue in the series quoted in the booklet remarked that his "affinity with Pettersson's idiom is manifest". One can only agree.As a recording of Pettersson's Ninth Symphony this is now clearly the version of choice.' --MusicWeb International

'Petterson's longest symphony becomes a focused 70-minute rollercoaster in Lindberg's hands. Comes with a fascinating DVD bonus of a 1970s Swedish documentary on the composer.' --BBC Music Magazine, April 2014

'This disc is a revelation.with BIS's fabulous sound, [this] is not just Lindberg's finest Pettersson recording but one of the finest anyone has committed to disc.The Swedish master has found his champion at last.' --Gramophone, May 2014
