This review is from: Trombone and Voice in the Habsburg Empire (Audio CD)

Trombone may not seem to be the ideal instrument to go with an operatic soloist, but Lindberg is playing an alto trombone, a diminutive cousin to the tenor version played in today's ensembles. It sounds like a cross between a bass trumpet and a french horn, and he plays it with great virtuosity. Ms Groop is a very fine singer (and anyway, I've always been a sucker for Mezzos); and their string and organ accompaniment is quite tight and well balanced.

Look, I'll skip the filler nonsense: you will not find a finer chamber group anywhere. If you like soothing, well played baroque/classical chamber music, you will not be sorry you got this album.
