 Aulis Sallinen — Virtual Finland
Aulis Sallinen's newest opera King Lear is like a synthesis of everything he has learned and themes that he holds dear: power, its corrupting influence and its loss.
Although Sallinen is best known for his operas, he has also earned acclaim as a composer of symphonic and chamber music.
Sallinen's next projects are a work for accordion and strings and a work commissioned by the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam.

Kullervo, Sallinen's fourth opera, is almost unremittingly dark, a tale of destruction and slaughter arising from the near-complete breakdown of human relationships.
Sallinen had mentioned that he was stripping away the superfluous element from the plot.
Sallinen is now in the fortunate position of being able to choose the commissions that suit what he actively wants to compose.

Believe it or not, this is the third recording (at least) of the Fourth Symphony, a marvelously focused piece from a composer whose work over the past decade or so has seemed quite patchy.
Sallinen exploits the instrument's historic role as a hunting instrument, but also leaves plenty of room for Romantic lyricism, and the concerto isn't a second too long.
To Sallinen's credit, however, the music never outstays its 16-minute duration, and as with all the pieces here the performance is spectacularly vivid.

 INKPOT#41 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Singapore Symphony Orchestra - 15th November 1997
Internationally renown for his operas, Aulis Sallinen (right) is one of Finland's most famous composers (and they have many good ones that are still writing).
Born 12 years before Sibelius died, Sallinen and his fellow artists have made the best out of and within the artistic renaissance left by their famous ancestor.
About 20 minutes into the work, I was full of admiration for Sallinen when I noted how he combined the themes of these individual "cells" of orchestraton and musical material together into a whole; and I thought the symphony would end soon.

 Sallinen orchestral works
Not everything works all of the time, but the best of Sallinen’s music haunts one although his thematic materials are not the kind one whistles at the end of a performance.
Likewise, the Palace Rhapsody for winds and percussion has roots in a 1995 opera, The Palace – “one of the few modern operas that is laugh-out-loud funny” according to Anderson.
It turns out that cpo is recording all of Sallinen’s orchestral music, and that another disc containing Symphonies 1 and 7 is already in the catalogue.

The Oberlin Wind Ensemble's program on Sunday, December 5, will offer selections by Brahms and Sallinen "one, a beautiful recasting of a widely known orchestral work, the other a reverberant, sonorous piece that fits the hall's acoustics," says
The first piece on the program is Finnish composer Aulis Sallinen's "Chorali." Arnold says Sallinen is one of Finland's premier composers.
"Sallinen immediately signals to the audience one of the processes he uses to fill up musical space," says Arnold.

The première recording of Finnish composer Aulis Sallinen's third opera 'The King Goes Forth to France' (1983; premiered in London and in Savonlinna, Finland in 1984) is receiving top reviews throughout the international press.
John Allison praises the disc as "aptly described as 'a fairy tale for the grown ups' (that) has lost nothing of its resonance: the protagonist starts out as an idealist and ends up as a power-crazed, warmongering tyrant.
Guy Rickards describes the opera as Sallinen's "best and most profound, and its impact on Sallinen's subsequent music is incalculable.

“In a piece like this, it is particularly important for the soloist to understand where the piece is coming from,” says Jani Telaranta of the witty Chamber Music III by Aulis Sallinen.
The composer himself ironically described the piece as “an aging composer’s farewell to youth”, and in its dance characters also serve as a reminiscence of his youthful employment as a dance pianist.
However, in addition to specific dances such as the rumba and the tango, Sallinen also refers beyond the dance floor, for instance with occasional allusions to the Neo-Classical ballets of Stravinsky.
