Lindberg plays Sandström

Search: This Sky
from: Bis

Release Date March 18, 1997
This CD is excellent, but at times difficult to listen to because of its modern nature. Most of the compositions on the album have distinct compositional techniques developed in the later part of the 20th century, and at times the music becomes so dissonant that it is painful.

However, Lindberg turns in another superb performance. The literature presented is incredibly difficult, and is made even more so by the modern style. As a trombone player, I love Lindberg's style. His tone is amazingly soft and rich, but his technical performance through that sound is so crisp and clean that it is almost unbelievable.

White Cloud, Big Sky

Search: This Sky

Release Date March 01, 1997
This album is perfect for relaxing, but it is not in any sense elevator music. There are complex interweavings of beautifully played instuments that give the impression of a pristine landscape. It is very heartfelt and has a sentiment that is spiritual in nature.

Caught by the Sky with Wire

Search: This Sky
from: O.O. Discs

Release Date January 30, 2001
Things don't seem to be what they really are when you first hear this disc! How is it possible to have so much happening, at such a virtuosic level with only two musicians? This is gorgeous music played exquisitely and begs to be played many times. Every aspect of the disc yells out, "Exceptional quality!" from the elegant design by a fellow named Appleton, to the linear notes by Greg Sandow and especially the music itself. These two folks, members of the Bang on The Can All-Stars, play this music as if it was made for them - and, of course, it was. All of the compositions by George Lewis, Chinary Ung, Nick Didkovsky and others were composed for this duo of Maya Beiser (cello) and Steven Schick (percussion). If you want to hear the future ...
