The composer demands much of the soloist, requiring all of the trombone’s timbre possibilities be displayed by a serious performer, one capable of overcoming difficulties. Casero, at ease and impeccable, revealed a domination of technique, a lovely sound, an unquestionable quality. Congratulations.
