Editorial Reviews
From the Artist
Corelli's published output consists entirely of music for strings. On its face, the application of this music to trombone seems an odd marriage. From our 21st century perspective, perhaps we are hard-pressed to imagine such nimble music sounding from a trombone. In recent tradition, music conceived for trombone has tended to be less active than for other brasses. Music that requires the sort of technique and flexibility that Corelli requires has been a low priority, as the trombone is assumed to have inherent limitations. But trombonists should play Corelli, first, because it is great music that has historically been shared among diverse instruments, second, because trombones and their operators have developed to a point where its performance is more than possible. The modern alto trombone is perfectly suited to the task of interpreting old music in a way that is faithful to the composer and his traditions but also visceral and exiting to modern audiences. It! is our instrument of choice for the solo role here, a modern instrument capable of thrilling today's audiences with dynamic performances of old music. In the same way that Corelli sought to demonstrate the technical capabilities of the violin that flourished in his era, this recording seeks to demonstrate similar capabilities unique to the trombone in the 21st century. Indeed, this recording and its accompanying performance editions aspire to take a place in the unbroken, 300-year performance lineage established upon Corelli's solo sonatas.
