5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful display of trombone artistry!, March 17, 2000

By 

Joseph Brown (Boone, NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christian Lindberg: Songs for Sunset (Audio CD)

This CD is by far my favorite Lindberg recording, and I own many. Lindberg takes melodies that may not be as technically demanding as some that he has recorded, but takes them to a new level musically. He truly makes the trombone an extension of the human spirit on this recording. I am a trombonist myself, so I know how difficult that is to accomplish and to accomplish it on the level that Lindberg does on this CD. His treatment of pieces such as the Rachmaninov Vocalise and Debussy's Girl With the Flaxen Hair truly do the music justice. He plays with a sense of freedom that truly pulls the listener into the music along with Lindberg.
