Composer: James Stephen, Jan Van Der Roost, Søren Hyldgaard
Artists: Brett Baker, Natalie Grady

This unusual album shows the contemporary trombone in a rich variety of guises – dramatic, lyrical, flirtatious, solemn, capricious and many more – in four recent concertante pieces for trombone and symphonic wind band, demonstrating the striking versatility of the instrument. It’s an international undertaking, too: the soloist is English, the band and conductor American, and the composers American, Danish, Belgian and English, all four writing in a language that is direct and immediate.

  1. :

    ‘Clarke certainly knows how to draw the maximum in terms of garish colour and unusual texture from this ensemble. I caught some almost Sibelian figures in the flutes.[…]

    Brett Baker’s playing is a treat in itself and the disc as a whole constitutes an impressive calling card for his abundant talents.’

    —Richard Hanlon, MusicWeb International
