I also attended Segerstam conducting Pettersson's Symphony No. 8 at the Deutsche Oper Berlin on January 30, 1998 (within the framework of a guest performance of the Royal Opera Stockholm) and had the impression of a rather relaxed interpretation, however the orchestra (Royal Opera Orchestra) wasn't in the same league as the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic. In any case attending a Segerstam concert obviously is rewarding without exception. It's a pity he didn't complete his Pettersson cycle on BIS.Juliohttp://www.amazon.de/noreply@blogger.com
