Ercole Nisini’s musical world knows no boundaries. Equally fascinated by Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical music, he shares this enthusiasm with his fellow musicians and audiences. On his new GENUIN album, he releases rarely performed repertoire that he, as was often customary in music around 1600, has arranged and interpreted for his instrument, improvising over it and even enriching it with modern elements. Works by Jacob van Eyck, Komitas Wardapet, and Marin Marais, the "Tweede Rosemund," and the "Engel Lied" – a true "Trombone Pleasure Garden"!
