'Sallinen's strongest music in an opera that shows his innate theatricality'
Opera Recording of the Month BBC Music June 2006
"At last - after two decades - The King Comes Forth to disc. Not enough modern operas really engage with the problems of our times. In this sometimes absurdist but always biting satire, Aulis Sallinen lashes into concerns ranging from the environment to the abdication of personal responsibility."
(Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine July 2006)
A chronicle for the music theatre of the coming Ice Age. Based on his radio play of the same name.
