Description:
A major addition to the concertante trombone repertory, this single-movement work lasting 30 minutes was premiered in 2017 by Jörgen van Rijen and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, conducted by Iván Fischer. Press reviews were ecstatic: ... this magnificent concerto enriches the repertoire ... The trombone sang, sang, sang ... then suddenly a spectacular mating dance of four trombones à la Stockhausen. At the very end van Rijen and MacMillan struck me down completely: between the serene harmonies which came to a moment of rest, the trombone once more entered with a heart-breaking eruption ... the wonderful beauty of despair ... It is a concerto for eternity, and trombone players could use one. - De Trouw.
