Thanks to its flexible and richly nuanced timbre, in the 20th century the trombone was discovered as a solo instrument by major composers who composed captivating repertoire for the instrument deserving of a wider audience. As the winner of the German Music Competition, ARD Music Competition and solo trombonist with the SWR Symphony Orchestra, Frederic Belli wants to help reach these listeners: His debut CD on the GENUIN label presents intriguing contemporary repertoire by Luciano Berio and Frank Martin, and by Folke Rabe and Nino Rota. Five wonderful discoveries with a burnished and captivating brass glow to them! Trombone; "The Rota Concerto is aptly suited for Belli´s strengths. Long, straightforward musical lines showcase his convincing sense of pacing, musicality, and keen sense of drama."; Review on the International Trombone Journal, January 2012 data wydania: 14-01-2011
