5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful trombone CD, March 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Criminal Trombone (Audio CD)

Trombone players of the world should really like this. (Other folks should, too.) His "theft" of works for other instruments is beautiful, fun, moving, and just plain great. The variety of selections is good. Who needs a violin for Albinoni when you have a trombone around? Get this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Christian Lindberg Rules The Trombone, December 30, 2003

After listening to "The Virtuoso Trombone," also by Christian Lindberg, and playing "Air" by Bach (track 8) as a solo, I bought this CD. As a trombonist, I can tell how great Christian Lindberg really is. But even my friends who hear his work are amazed at his talents. My favorite on this CD is "Overture to The Barber of Seville," but I honestly listen to all of the songs on the album and enjoy them all. Even a casual listener of classical music would love this CD and I hightly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An all-around GREAT CD, May 20, 2000

This review is from: The Criminal Trombone (Audio CD)

This CD is one that even non-classical music lovers can enjoy. It is a fun cd, especially when Lindberg shows of his skill in Overture to the Barber of Seville. I myself play trombone and Lindberg is in my mind, the premier trombonist in the world. I highly recommend this CD!
