Christian Lindberg's "Pontinen: Blue Winter / Milhaud: Concertino D'Hiver" is a captivating exploration of classical music, reimagined through the lens of the trombone. Released on January 31, 1988, under the BIS label, this album spans a concise yet impactful 54 minutes, showcasing Lindberg's virtuosity and the rich, resonant tones of his instrument.
The album opens with Lindberg's arrangement of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons," specifically the "Winter" concerto, translated from violin to trombone. This unique interpretation brings a fresh perspective to the timeless masterpiece, highlighting the expressive range of the trombone. The album continues with Lindberg's own composition, "Concertino d'hiver," a piece that complements the winter theme and demonstrates his skill as both a performer and a composer.
The second half of the album features Lindberg's arrangement of Milhaud's "Trombone Concertino, Op. 45 No. 7," a work that showcases the trombone's agility and lyrical qualities. The album concludes with "Bla Vinter" (Blue Winter), a piece that encapsulates the essence of winter in a hauntingly beautiful manner.
Throughout the album, Lindberg's technical prowess and musical sensitivity shine, making this a compelling listen for both classical music enthusiasts and those looking to explore the trombone's versatility. The album's thoughtful programming and Lindberg's dynamic performances make it a standout in the classical music repertoire.
