Come on, Mats! Let's be proud Swedes here, for ones sake. I would say
that most Swedish composers are underrated (or at least "underplayed").
However I must say that I find Stenhammar a bit overrated compared to other
Swedish contemporaries. I think he is somewhat ecclectic (the second
symphony being the great exception).
I have been abel to hear a lot of British music (in concert) here in
Bristol during 1999. If a brit went to Sweden he would have problems
finding live performances of Swedish music.
