BYE, MATTI - Superswede (Sealed) (CD)

Soundtrack by Swedish composer Matti Bye to the acclaimed Swedish documentary film of the 1970's Formula One driver Ronnie Peterson. Peterson nicknamed "Superswede" was the fastest formula 1-driver in the 70s who never became a world champion - a down to earth working class hero with the looks of a movie star and gifted with a talent for speed. Ronnie's incredible talent eventually takes him to the top, being the fastest driver of them all, but when he stands on the threshold of becoming a true contender for the world championship, fate intervenes one tragic September Sunday at Monza, 1978. A day when Sweden came to a standstill and the entire world held its breath.
