Programme 120 The Trombone — Concertos Through the Centuries

More Than Meets the Ear
Bold, brilliant and unmistakable — but how well do we really know the trombone?
Join Brian as we follow this remarkable instrument across more than two centuries, from the elegant alto trombone of Albrechtsberger to the dazzling virtuosity of the modern instrument. Along the way, discover how the slide really works, why a B-flat trombone doesn’t transpose like a B-flat trumpet, and hear just how lyrical, adventurous and agile the trombone can be.
You may never hear it quite the same way again.
