If it's not already been mentioned, trombone lovers should all listen to Christopher Rouse's Pulitzer-winning Trombone Concerto. The Lindberg BIS recording is slightly better conducted, but Alessi's tone on RCA with the Colorado Symphony is better. I attended the Winnipeg festival recently (a review is forthcoming), and had the joy of seeing over 1000 people give this work a cheering, standing ovation. Don't miss it--and with the RCA you get Rouse's incredible "Gorgon." Jeff Dunn [log in to unmask] Foster City, CA
