5.0 out of 5 stars CD shows many possibles for pros and student alike, June 26, 2000

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

This CD shows Christians virtuosity yet it also proves that the trombone is capable of more than slow ballads. Ive studied with Christian and I can tell you though this CD seems to be as hard as it comes there are better of his CDs. This is probably his 2nd best though. He is a master of trombone and this CD allows students and professionals to 1>Hear a real trombone sound 2>Dicover new peices 2>and also show the trombones possivilities. THIS IS A GREAT CD TO LISTEN TO AND PERFORM ALONG SIDE IN PRACTICE!

5.0 out of 5 stars Every college trombonist should buy this!, March 10, 2008

I recently bought this CD because I played a few of these songs in college and on my senior recital. The best recording is the Vox Gabrieli by Stephan Sulek! Any trombone player from high school and on needs to get this rare CD. It is a good example CD to listen to if a trombone player is stuck on phrasing and breathing for the classic trombone songs featured on the CD. The Hindemith Sonata is also a fantastic collection of songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, August 23, 2006

This is a great CD for any trombonist's collection...As was mentioned before, the Blue Bells, Czardas and Hindemith are all first rate. The largest contribution to the very small collection of quality trombone recordings out there, however, is the much overlooked and extremely beautiful Sulek Sonata. The artist does such a first rate job presenting such a wonderful piece of music, it's worth the entire cost of the CD in one track.
