While the symphonies by Alan Pettersson are widely discussed his oratorium "Vox Humana" is sparcely mentioned. There is a recording on BIS, coupled with a work for orchestra and baritone by Hilding Rosenberg and I was about to buy this several times, but as CPO is planning to release a recording of that, I did not go for it, so far. Anybody knows the BIS release, is it worth to get or should one better wait for the CPO? How does Vox Humana compare to the rest of Petterssons output (I can not say that his choral sym. no. 12 is among my favourite Pettersson syms!). Achim Breiling
