Description
<p>Aulis Sallinen is a respected maestro whose successful composing career has already spanned over half a century. “A strong tonal stamp, simple thematic formulas, clarity of formal construction, and above all a use of repetition which pervades every level of the music – these are Sallinen’s main stylistic traits in a nutshell,” writes Mikko Heiniö. Sallinen's output features a lot of instrumental music, including chamber music, concertos and eight symphonies. But he is best known for his operas. <a href="https://core.musicfinland.fi/works/ratsumies-86661104-4b5a-43fa-82b5-d381788850d3" target="_blank">Ratsumies (The Horseman, 1975)</a> was the work that launched the great Finnish opera boom, and since then he has written numerous works for the stage, from light-hearted musical theatre to grand tragedy.</p>
