Osmo Tapio Räihälä
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Osmo Tapio Räihälä (born January 15, 1964) is a Finnish composer of contemporary music. He has mainly written instrumental music for various chamber music line-ups, three concertos (one for mallet instruments, a viola concerto and a cello concerto) as well as for symphony orchestra. His best known work is the orchestral portrait Barlinnie Nine, a tribute to the Scottish football player Duncan Ferguson. In 2004, another orchestral tribute, this time to the Islay single malt whisky Ardbeg, was chosen as one of recommended works in the international Uuno Klami competition.
Apart from Scandinavia, Räihälä's music has been performed a.o. in the USA, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Germany and many other countries. The first CD recording of his works, Rock Painting, was released in 2006.
