Work introduction
SOLO for trombone
and orchestra was written in 1999 for trombonist Christian Lindberg. “It’s not
a concerto in the real sense of the word, even if the solo part is extremely, almost
absurdly difficult”, wrote Berio. “The orchestral element is partially
generated from the trombone voice, but the development and substance of the
discourses differ enormously. The trombone and orchestra occasionally share the
same key note, but they do not communicate with each other. SOLO is thus less
of a concerto and more of an encounter between two solitudes.”
