Lindberg is an amazing player. He gets a bad rap about his tone from some players, but I'm not one of them. To me, it's just his unique voice, and for what it's used for , I think it's great. Besides, I've got to give kudos to anyone who can make a career as a trombone soloist!!

Im a huge fan. I have 3 CD's of his. I really like his tone. I have also heard of the dislike of his tone from people, but I really don't care what they think, its their opinion.

i agree 100% I also like his unique style has well as his tone.

He is my personal favorite; who's yalls?

Lindberg is definitely one of my favorite classical trombone players. However, my favorite is Joe Alessi. I just can't get enough of his big, majestic tone and his crystal clear articulations. Alessi's musicality is something special too. Everything that he plays, from slow emotional ballads to fast exciting pieces, is convincing. I once took a lesson from him, and I was playing an etude from the Rochut studies, and he got me thinking about the piece in a way that I never thought of before. It made me realize that lots of the problems of the technical aspects of playing can actually be solved more easily if you work them out musically.

Lindberg is one of my favorites also. I own 8 of his CD's. The 10 year Jubilee CD is one to get. He is arguably one of the better legit trombone players ever. That being said I think Joseph Alessi is the most musically gratifying player to listen to. I am anticipating his new album by Italian composers.

i've never herd of Joseph Alessi i'll be sure to check him out

He's alright. Bill Watrous is just amaaaaazing. hehe plus i've met him. but still, listened to lindberg and it's not. like, anything amazing

Bill Watrous plays jazz, and Christian Lindberg plays classical. It's apples and oranges, so you really can't compare the two. If you don't think that Lindberg is amazing, just listen to him play "Flight of the Bumblebee" or "Blue Bells of Scotland". Then I think you'll change your mind.

i agree with bob. it's not fair to compair a jazz player to a classical player but i have listen to Bill Watrous
and i liked him too.

Lindberg to me is the best player to ever live and I own 12 of his cds

for my final year exams i have to study a piece recorded in different situations or by different people but refer to the original blah blah blah anyway after loads of research and me being mainly into jazz iim surprised at my decision to study csardas by lindberg, but im soo glad to have discovered him he is an incredible player and i think he's tone is awsome!!!! i'm looking for some other pieces of his which are perhaps slightly easier to play than csardas, anyone know of any???
thx

Christian Lindberg is an amazing player. I would have never ever thought there could be anybody better, until I heard Joe Alessi. In general, Lindberg is a more "pretty" player, and Alessi is a more in your face/bold mahestic player. Though, I feel that Alessi can play just as "pretty" when he wants to. Please listen to Joe Alessi play "Blue Bells of Scotland" or better yet the Johan DeMeij "Tbone Concerto" (my favorite peice of all time). Then immediately after listening to Alessi, listen to Lindberg play both. You'll have a new favorite. Lindberg is amazing, but at times too "pretty" imo. His vibrato can be way too wide sometimes. And for example, when you listen to either of his recorded versions of "Blue Bells of Scotland" his pedal tones are pretty blatty and weak compared to Joe's. As well as the high F at the end, Christian hits it but it's short and you can tell he's very tires; Joe screams it in your face, and holds it with vibrato. = Amazing.
