THE CRITICS:

Fanfare Magazine: "This program by a semiprofessional orchestra located in the Bergslagen area of Sweden is a pleasant enough release. The most interesting item is a quarter-hour symphony by the respected organist and church music composer Gunnar Thyrestam. The music is permeated by the folk melos of the Bergslagen region. "
