Performer Biography

Frederic Belli started playing brass instruments at age 6 or 7, beginning with the trumpet, then a tenor horn, and finally the trombone at age 10.

Recording & Production

The Nino Rota concerto on this album was a studio production, planned from the start to be recorded in May 2009.

Performer Biography

Frederic Belli, the trombonist on this album, was the first trombonist to win the German Music Competition in its 30-year history in March 2007.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Frederic Belli chose to program only New Music works because the trombone's significant solo repertoire and serious orchestral role primarily developed in the 20th century.

Performer Biography

Frederic Belli worked with Christian Lindberg, a highly important figure among trombonists, on Berio's SOLO, which was dedicated to Lindberg.

Interpretation

Frederic Belli describes Berio's SOLO as an extremely demanding piece, requiring new coordination and technique, and being 20 percent more difficult than standard repertoire.
