Putting together a Segerstam Complete Symphonies box set is now going to be a herculean challenge for some enterprising record label

…not to mention a potentially infinite one, given that Segerstam’s methodology for putting these works together means that every single performance (recorded or otherwise) would sound utterly unique.

Reminds me, sometimes, of the incomparable Charles Ives.
btw – has (anyone) heard that symphony 1 by the (rather silly) Austrian extreme Actionist artist Hermann Nitsch (RIP). Glorious

Is that the one subtitled “The Egyptian” (for no discernible reason), @Tim? If so, I’ve listened to it now, and I indeed found it fabulously batty in the tradition of Schnittke’s 1st (which I assume you’re familiar with, and amongst the recorded conductors of which there is…yes, you’ve guessed it: one L. Segerstam.)
