No doubt fellow-members will already have discovered this, but I'll flag it up anyway....
The Symphony in F (1913-16) by Oskar Lindberg (1887-1955) is an absolutely gorgeous three-movement work of some 37 minutes' duration written in a colourful late-romantic idiom (think Atterberg, etc.). It's available on the Sterling label.
I'll enthusiastically second that. Lindberg, an almost exact contemporary of fellow Swede, Kurt Atterberg, composed a number of lyrical and colorful orchestral works that should please anyone who loves the sound of nationalistic Scandinavian music. I've enjoyed his work since the days of LPs when his "Leksand's Suite" appeared on an imported RCA record accompanying Atterberg's rhapsody-ballet "The Wise and Foolish Virgins."

Oh good. I thought I might be on my own here...
