Description: Period trombone (or sackbutt) recordings are very thin on the ground, so enjoy this new one which contains both early Classical concertos and early baroque sonatas in which the trombone, able to play complete chromatic scales (unlike trumpets or horns), was given full melodic equality with the violin(s).
