Aulis Sallinen
Aulis Heikki Sallinen (born 9 April 1935) is a
Finnish contemporary classical music composer. His music has been variously described as "remorselessly harsh", a "beautifully crafted amalgam of several 20th-century styles", and "neo-romantic". Sallinen studied at the
Sibelius Academy, where his teachers included
Joonas Kokkonen. He has had works commissioned by the
Kronos Quartet, and has also written seven
operas, eight
symphonies, concertos for violin, cello, flute, horn, and English horn, as well as several chamber works. He won the
Nordic Council Music Prize in 1978 for his opera ''Ratsumies'' (''
The Horseman'').
