Christian Lindberg has, during his 15 years as a trombone soloist, given the world premiere of no less than 65 new trombone concerti and more than twice that amount of smaller pieces. In addition to this he has arranged, transcribed or orchestrated more than 100 pieces for trombone and composed his first opus "Arabenne" for trombone and string orchestra which has received brilliant reviews both in Sweden and abroad. This unique contribution can only be compared with the influence Paganini and Liszt had on the repertoire for their instruments during the last century. Havind started playing the trombone at the age of 17, Christian Lindberg (born 1958) was appointed first trombone in the Royal Opera Orchestra in Stockholm at the age of 19. After further studies in Stockholm, London and Los Angeles he won several international solo competition and made up his mind to devote himself to a solo career, leaving his position at the Royal Opera in Stockholm. In a comparatively short time he succeeded in becoming the first trombone soloist in history.
Christian Lindberg has an impressive record production and since his debut album "The Virtuoso Trombone" in 1983, he has so far released no less than 54 solo CD´s on companies such as BIS, Decca, Deutsche Grammophon, EMI, Delos, Denon, LDR, King International, Musical Heritage and Phono Suecia.
Apart
from his contribution in the fieald of
contemporary music where he has succeeded like few
others to present new works in a way that breaks
down conservative scepticism everywhere, he is
also a great scholar of the baroque repertoire
which he performs on original instruments and is
as keen to perform the classical and romantic
repertoire. With his exceptional memory(he
performed 59 out of the 65 concerti at the world
premiere by memory!) and his dramatic talent, he
is also able to add "One-man-shows"
which include a considerable theatrial element.
sometimes also in costume, to his repertoire. He
has recital programmes in several combinations
together with international instrumentalists. |
