The Swedish trombonist Christian Lindberg releases his "Trombone Odyssey" CD, which includes "Motorbike Concerto" by Jan Sanstrom.

  The Live performance...

  Lindberg's world premiere of Jan Sandstrom's "Motorbike Concerto" serves as the guideline for how the piece should be performed. The audience sits facing the stage and the orchestra tuning. Suddenly, there is a loud rumble, Lindberg, clad in red leathers and straddling a white Harley-Davidson rolls onto the stage. Wasting no time, the orchestra begins with haunting chords, shrieking lower and lower, and the concerto begins.

  Considered by many to be one of the best trombonists of all time, Christian Lindberg is first one to be able to maintain a successful full-time performing career as a soloist. This is only one of the over 60 CD's he has recorded.
