BTW, if you want to get into Pettersson's heavy, dark, brooding, 
music, start with Symphony 8 and then go to #9. It's dire music, of 
the classical sort of course, but very Severianesque. For something 
more joyous then turn to his 2nd Violin Concerto, which gives you 30 
minutes of  horror followed by 15 minutes of light (Jesus!) conquering horror.

Yes, well, with the glorious Vance you need something classical: 
Mozart or Haydn. Not the brooding romanticism Wolfe requires.

Of course, I show my age and prejudice in these "classical" recommendations!!
