This dynamic album showcases the extraordinary range and expressive power of the trombone, brought to life by the virtuosic Christian Lindberg, with pianist Roland Pöntinen. Spanning from the whirlwind of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumble-bee to Berio’s avant-garde Sequenza V, the program highlights both technical brilliance and emotional depth. It features 20th-century masterworks like Hindemith’s somber Sonata and Frank Martin’s lyrical Ballade, as well as colorful showpieces such as Monti’s Csárdás and Pryor’s Blue Bells of Scotland. A landmark recording that helped establish the trombone as a serious solo instrument in classical music.
