a wonderful CD

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

Don't be misled by the subtitle "Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck". This is an eclectic collection which just happens to begin with the attractive set of variations by JPS. I bought the CD for the "Elegy" by Thalben-Ball, a strikingly beautiful piece which Ms Balsom plays on the flugelhorn. The collection is significant because of the performance of "Okna" by Petr Eben, a major contribution to the repertoire of both the trumprt and the organ. Her accompanist, Quentin Thomas plays superbly throughout. I truly believe that Ms. Balsom is the rightful heir to the mantle of Maurice Andre. Remember that beautiful, lyrical ease with which he played? She has that same quality in her playing, not a phony trick, but true artistry. I almost made it through the review without mentioning her great physical beauty. Judging from the cover photograph, she is not unaware, either.

Outstanding without a doubt!

Wow! Alison Balsom is incredible in her command of the various instruments she plays here. As a trumpet player myself (and we are both left-handed, but that is where the similarity ends) I know how difficult some of the passages are to turn from technical exercise into wonderful music; and she does everything necessary to pull off that task. Highly recommended!

Poor Quality Recording as usual by EMI

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2013

These EMI recordings are such poor quality they do not do justice to the artists. I have had this problem with EMI recordings in the past.

The buyer should beware: This is largely "modern" music

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

With repertoire of this kind, I'm honestly unable to comment on Ms. Balsom's playing, so churning and tiresome do I find the compositions. More than half the album is of this kind, which in my middle-brow way I must categorize, however unfairly, as material I feel sure I won't be listening to again. As with everything this trumpeter does, there seems to be sureness, mastery, deftness, purity of tone--but in the service of compositions that seemingly go nowhere. Unfortunately, "sampling" any substantial classical or modern music gives no clue as to what's in store. If this type of thing is in fact your thing, I feel sure you'll be happy. As for me, this disc goes on the shelf of others I call "Try it again someday--maybe you'll grow into it." Never, never say "I'll never like this kind of music." Just because it's wretched "background music" doesn't mean it won't repay attentive listening.

Talent and sound quality is excellent.

Mixture from baroque to modern. I was expecting mostly Bach. Talent and sound quality is excellent.

The most amazing tones, shades and subtlety

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2016

This genius of the trumpet must be heard to be believed. The most amazing tones, shades and subtlety, how can a mere mortal achieve this.

Spine tingling, emotional and truly magnificent.

Musique pour trompette et orgue...

Reviewed in France on August 26, 2015

Verified Purchase

J'ai reçu ce CD commandé, sans problème. Je ne pensais pas toutefois que le disque se terminait par des compositeurs + modernes, d'où musique plus savante mais moins "harmonieuse" (à mon gré).

Gelungenes Debut

Reviewed in Germany on November 25, 2013

Verified Purchase

Ein Klassisches Debut-Album: ein bisschen von Vielem. Schätze ich nicht besonders. Leider ist das Original-Repertoire für Trompete ziemlich schmal und eine Trompeterin ist schnell auf Bearbeitungen angewiesen, wenn sie nicht nur im Orchester als Stimme wirken will. Die Bearbeitungen sind ganz nett, ein bisschen Zucker für's Pferd. Die Transkription einer Bachschen Partita für Violine auf die Trompete ist an sich schon fragwürdig und hier auch nicht gelungen. Doppelgriffe für Trompete sind wohl noch nicht erfunden. "Semaine Sainte a Cuzco", ein Original, ist bravourös gespielt. Die Vocalise-Etude ist schön interpretiert, wenn man nicht weiß, dass das Original Klavier und Sopran vorsieht. Die Farben nach Chagall lassen dann erkennen, in welcher Richtung die Entwicklung wohl gehen wird. Sehr schön.

Ausgehend von den späteren Veröffentlichngen von Frau Balsom, speziell den beiden CDs von 2012, war ich neugierig, wie das wohl angefangen hat. Wenn es nur die Aufnahme von 2002 gegeben hätte, hätte ich sie nie bestellt. Wie man hören kann, war das schon ziemlich gut aber nicht herausragend unter den Trompeter/innen ihrer Generation. Was für eine Entwicklung bis heute!
