When someone becomes the Co-Principal Trombone of the LSO at just 18 years old, you know they’re someone special. Now a full-time soloist, Peter Moore’s new album shines a light on brass band music, showcasing both the punchy and energetic as well as the luscious and lyrical sides of the repertoire. Gordon Langford’s dreamy Rhapsody for Trombone is so captivating, the trombone might just dethrone the trumpet as my favorite brass instrument to listen to…

Born in Belfast and brought up in Greater Manchester, trombonist Peter Moore came to international attention in 2008 when, aged 12, he became the youngest ever winner of BBC Young Musician. Appointed Co-Principal Trombone of the London Symphony Orchestra aged just 18, he departed after ten years to focus on his solo career. As a recording artist, Moore is has already been featured in concertos by Jonathan Dove, Edward Gregson, and Dani Howard with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, BBC Concert, and BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestras. His latest album, accompanied by Tredegar Band, celebrates Moore’s life-long association with the Brass Band movement, with a diverse program that centers Gordon Langford’s Rhapsody for Trombone and the world premiere recording of Simon Dobson’s SHIFT, a concerto written for Peter Moore. Other selections pay tribute to Moore’s influences such as Annie Laurie by Arthur Pryor, a soloist with the Souza band, and I’m Gettin’ Sentimental Over You, a huge hit for Tommy Dorsey.
