This is a symphony of very subtle self-loathing, to contrast it with the excoriating works of Petterson. It doesn't make much of an impression at first, sounding very German late-romantic in a Reger/Schmidt/Schreker kind of way, but far more introverted.But listen to it a few times and its anguish comes forth, along with a satisfying structure. A forgotten masterpiece with manifold beauties you have to work a bit for, but worth every penny.
