Unfortunately, there is absolutely NO Pettersson performed in the US.
(But then, what do you expect from a country where "pro wrestling" is
the highest rated show on cable television?) I doubt if most of the
major conductors in the country have even *heard* of him.  But back to
the second Violin Concerto - wonderful music indeed.  A pity that more
soloists don't take it up.  *I* think we have a sufficiency of
Brahms/Tchaikovsky/Beethoven concerto recordings out there.....
