Aulis Sallinen / Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, Ari Rasilainen - Symphonies 3 & 5 flac album

Though neither a Finnish nor even a Scandinavian orchestra, the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz still gives Sallinen's symphonies every benefit of their polished professionalism. Anyone interested in post-Sibelius Finnish music is urged to try this disc. CPO's digital sound is full, deep, and clear.

Artist: Ari Rasilainen Title: Aulis Sallinen - Symphonies 3 & 5 Year Of Release: 2008 Label: CPO Genre: Classical Quality: FLAC (tracks+. Performers: Rheinland-Pfalz State Philharmonic Orchestra Ari Rasilainen - Conductor. With his eight symphonies and six operas, Aulis Sallinen has made two of the most significant contributions to postwar Finnish music. Outside of Finland, however, Sallinen's name, along with his music, is nearly unknown. Most of the symphonies and operas have yet to be recorded, a situation that CPO is addressing in its series devoted to Sallinen's symphonies with Ari Rasilainen leading the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz.

After the success of his first operas and symphonies, Aulis Sallinen settled into a style characterized by strongly colored instrumental gestures and long stretches consisting of little more than atmosphere. While this may work well enough on the stage, its effectiveness in symphonic composition is questionable, as these two pieces demonstrate. Though often ear-catching in terms of sheer sonority, their static quality and lack of harmonic variety produce an overall impression of glumness, particularly in the Fifth Symphony  . 3 & 5 "Washington Mosaics".
