Aulis Sallinen

Overview - Recordings - Scores - Books - Links

Born: April 9, 1935, Salmi, Finland

Sallinen's haunting single-movement Chorali is a memorable addition to the wind ensemble literature. Just try to get the main wind motif out of your mind after listening to this work! Rundell and the RNCM Wind Orchestra include this work in their new CD of Nordic Wind Band Classics. The Berglund performance is part of a fabulous all-Sallinen CD, including his First and Third Symphonies and the Third String Quartet.
