The Essential Rochut features a handful of well-known classical trombonists playing their favorite Bordogni Etudes, as arranged by Joannes Rochut. The Essential Rochut is an excellent learning tool for young and advanced players alike, offering a useful point of reference, and includes performances by Ralph Sauer, John Rojak, Don Immel, Scott Hartman, and Douglas Yeo.
Between March 2007 and December 2007, producer Vincent LaBelle recorded the trombonists on this collection in various locations, including the Yale University campus, and Boston's Symphony Hall. The recordings are intimate and stylistically varied. An mp3 sample of The Essential Rochut is available in the media section of this website.
"Every trombonist needs this recording."
-Michael Davidson, ITA Journal, University of Kansas
"What I didn't anticipate from The Essential Rochut was its soothing quality. A place of repose provided by Rochut/Bordogni in a noisy world. But this is also gained from the players' interpretations, which are, to me, uniformly warm, skilled, thoughtful and refined."
-David Fetter, Peabody Institute
