This new recording is performed by the musicians for whom Theo Verbey wrote the piece: Sebastiaan Kemner and Andrea Vasi. According to Kemner, "Theo had already written a piece for trombone and orchestra (LIED, written for Jörgen van Rijen), when he wrote his Ballade for trombone and piano, for Andrea Vasi and me. It is an incredible addition to the repertoire, and a very powerful and personal piece." This recording was made possible thanks to a grant from #investeringsfondsmuziek @bumastemra and @minocw and Amarte fund https://amarte.nl/en/ Additional funding was provided by the Theo Verbey Foundation.
