Title: Josef Jonsson (1887-1969)

I've just been listening to this composer's first symphony.  Advertised as a late romantic Swedosj composer, I'm wondering if he fits into our remit or not?  Alan?

Swedosj?   ;)
The short answer is 'yes'. Here's a review of the CD I have:

Thanks Alan.  Gosh, seem to have a habit of putting my hands on the keyboard in the wrong place.  That's the jerfilm word for "Swedish".  I also have a left shift key that doesn't work about 60% of the time, which is aggravating at best.....

A YouTube search produced one item, a song called Kom!, apparently by the same Josef Johnsson.
