THE CRITICS:

Aftonbladet: "A fiesta for the eardrums... a hell-of-a ball and sparkles in the sound. Sagvik recognizes the sensuality and the emotions in his compositorical work."

HiFi & Musik: "...an associativly developed music, filled with fantasy and colours with their own laws... That man Sagvik you should look upon more closely."

Gränslöst: "Rich in clang, expressive! Extreamely well performed!"

Records International "Some hard-core film score collectors won't even need to know anything about the films whose scores are on offer; this release is for those collectors! These Swedish "films" date from 1978, 1977, 1988 and 1984 respectively and one-paragraph synopses are given (a couple are bizarre enough to demand seeing). The music is freely atonal and makes full use of a very large orchestra. Metamora stands apart from the group; the fractured liner note calls it a symphony and it may be so - arranged from the film music. Anyway, it's 24 minutes are not far off from the idiom of Eklund or Pettersson and it works as a single-movement symphony or tone poem."

CD Guide "The orchestra is excellent and the sound is excellent. This is a first-class release from a small company and would be a perfect selection for your regular customer who likes Stravinsky and Shostakovich, but is bored silly by recent selections. "
