Christian Lindberg (trombone) Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, Martyn Brabbins British composer John Pickard has been widely praised for his architectural sense and bold handling of an extended tonal idiom. He is best known for a series of powerful orchestral works, of which The Flight of Icarus has met with particular acclaim. After its première at the PROMS The Times critic wrote: “Pickard's score remains airborne over its 20-minute span rather more proficiently than Icarus, leading the ear and imagination with impressive resourcefulness.” "A real treat here from a
composer I hadn’t heard
before, John Pickard. His
soundscapes are often
rich and not a little
threatening, and there is
an almost Janá?ekian
sense of the inexorability
of nature. Had Icarus
heard this before
venturing too close to
the sun, he might have
shown more caution." Gramophone Magazine |

| |  | Takemitsu: Orchestral Works
Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, Hiroshi Wakasugi, Ryusuke Numajiri Because of his great interest in his own cultural and historical background, Takemitsu uses Japanese traditional instruments, for example the shakuhachi, a bamboo flute, which features heavily in ‘November Steps’. Indeed, this poetic music is a real blend of Eastern and Western ingredients, and notable is his use of Western instruments in unusual and unexpected combinations
These recordings have not been available in the West for quite some time and are illuminated by some compelling sleeve notes, written by the composer. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Christian Lindberg - A Composer’s Portrait II
Christian Lindberg (trombone, conductor & recitation), Richard Tognetti (violin), Neal Peres Da Costa (harpsichord) & Ole Edvard Antonsen (trumpet) Australian Chamber Orchestra, Nordic Chamber Orchestra & Swedish Chamber Orchestra This second disc is dedicated to the compositions by Christian Lindberg, who participates as performer and conductor and sometimes both at the same time! Alongside Lindberg the disc features Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra in Asa, a work that sprang from Lindberg’s interest in the religious beliefs of the Vikings. OF BLOOD SO RED for chamber orchestra, is the longest work on the disc, and as Lindberg himself describes it in his liner notes, his most ’serious’ piece he has composed. Other works include a trumpet concerto (with Ole Edvard Antonsen as soloist), two pieces for solo trombone and Gypsy Kingdom for trombone and string quartet, making this a programme as varied in sound and character as are the talents of its creator. “It is rare to hear a recital devoted entirely to the trombone, and rarer still to hear one of such ingenuity and excellence as that given by Christian Lindberg.” The Times |

| |  | Christian Lindberg - The Total MusicianIncluding two documentary films, four filmed performances and two music videos
Christian Lindberg (trombone), Charles Vernon (bass trombone), Ole Edvard Antonsen (trumpet) & Håkan Hardenberger (trumpet) Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Swedish Wind Ensemble & Nordic Chamber Orchestra BIS’s first-ever DVD is dedicated to one of the label’s most charismatic and longest-standing artists: Christian Lindberg. In celebration of his 50th birthday, BIS presents this DVD which reflects all aspects of his extraordinary career.
It forms an extensive – 3h 40 minutes – portrayal of this multi-faceted musician who since his début on disc (on BIS-CD-258) in 1984 almost single-handedly has turned the trombone into a solo instrument. But those who have followed his career, and his discography on BIS, will know that over the past few years Lindberg has also been developing a reputation as a composer and conductor.
The DVD includes two hour-long documentaries and the long-awaited re-release of four filmed performances including Jan Sandström’s Motorbike Concerto, which Lindberg performed at the Last Night of the Proms. Lindberg discusses these vintage performances as well as showing footage of him enacting his own Bombay Bay Barracuda for trombone and tape – mostly filmed under water! The final component of this DVD brings together some of the world’s finest brass players, including Håkan Hardenberger and Ole-Edvard Antonsen. “It is rare to hear a recital devoted entirely to the trombone, and rarer still to hear one of such ingenuity and excellence as that given by Christian Lindberg.” The Times |

| |  | Prelude, Fnugg and Riffs
Øystein Baadsvik (tuba) Swedish Wind Ensemble, Christian Lindberg This disc presents a highly varied programme centred on the combination of solo tuba and wind band. It covers a wide spectrum of styles, from the Concerto by Boris Diev (b. 1924) – a leading figure within the great Russian wind orchestra tradition – to Swedish composer Fredrik Högberg’s (b.1971) wisecracking and effect-laden Trolltuba, a re-telling of the folk tale Three Billy Goats Gruff. A highlight on the disc is tubaist/composer Baadsvik’s own piece, the unique Fnugg Blue, a highly enjoyable showcase for pioneering tuba techniques – including percussive effects and multiphonics |

Christian Lindberg (trombone) São Paulo Symphony Orchestra, John Neschling A unique opportunity to rediscover Nathaniel Shilkret’s lost trombone concerto - something of a Holy Grail for trombonists, written for Tommy Dorsey at Leopold Stokowski’s request and first performed in 1945. After this performance, the score disappeared, as did the orchestral parts, and it took more than 60 years before the piece was ever performed again in its original form. That performance opens this disc. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
