The monolithic 'Symphonic Ode' is a great work.

[Karl Henning]

And you as well, Karl! and Rafael! Both great discs for sure

I was inattentive. I'm chuckling that I echoed Rafael's post!

Now, tipping my hat to Jeffrey:

One is often unaware of echoing the future.

Well, I've been consistent in my inattention, anyway....

[Karl Henning]

Glad you found the string concerti rewarding. It is the only Pettersson that I have managed to come to terms with.

Pettersson may still be hit or miss for me. I still haven't gone back to the Ninth Symphony ....

[foxandpeng]

I have listened to the seventh, and I remember enjoying parts of it in an episodic way, but the overall musical arc of the work eluded me. Between the "good parts" I was lost at sea.

(That's the way I felt about a lot of Mahler, when I first encountered it.)

Not quite the same, I know, but I often have to hear works repeatedly before I gain any sort of traction on them at all. Takes me forever to not feel all at sea and to identify and remember the structure, ebb and flow of the music. In my case, I suspect that is sometimes because of the type of music that I choose to listen to, but usually because of my lack of musical proficiency.

Pettersson 9 is pretty challenging, to be fair, Karl...

I may go back to it yet, Danny, just not this week, probably.

So much music, so little time.

Both sets are excellent.

Britten: Cantata Misericordium - one of my favourite works from Britten:

Allan Pettersson
Symphony 4
Christian Lindberg
Norrköping SO
BIS

The more I hear Pettersson 4, the more I find it rising in my affections toward the top of the pile. There is a fleeting hint at hope in the recurring hymnic melody that has turned itself into something of an ear worm for me against the backdrop of his usual emotional palette. All the more poignant, I think.
