Symphony no. 8
Album by Allan Pettersson & Baltimore Symphony Orchestra & Sergiu Comissiona
Symphony No. 8 is the eighth symphony by Swedish composer Allan Pettersson, composed in 1968. The work exemplifies his intense, large-scale symphonic approach with dense, often turbulent orchestration, extended formal spans and sombre, expressive themes, representing a mature phase in his output as he consolidated the emotionally charged style of his middle-period symphonies.
