4 PRESS Assuredness and discipline were the responses to Ricardo Casero who, it must be recognized, was very convincing both as conductor and as trombone soloist. 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.
