On this programme the performers explore the versatile, ambiguous character, the range of colours, possibilities and even boundaries of the combination of trumpet and trombone, in which the soprano voice of the trumpet forms a wonderful combination with the tenor of the trombone.

The cd is named after Folke Rabe's composition 'Tintomara' - a dualistic figure from The Briar Rose Book by the Swedish author Jonas Love Almqvist (1793- 1859) - which reflects the male and female character of the trumpet and trombone. Duets and a diversity of arrangements but also solo works for trumpet and trombone make this a rich and surprising release.

"There is indeed little that these players cannot project in terms of multifacted lyricism, colour and dramatic presence, and this is matched by the very best in modern brass programming…all the facets of this project are outstanding and it starts with a dazzling sound." Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine, June 2015
