I just discovered Alison....I will not stop listening. Wow. Her work on the Baroque Trumpet was eye opening for me as a former trumpet and bugle player in my teens. She makes me want to take up the trumpet again...at 53. Lol. Anyway.. ..thank you Alison Balsam.
Listening through two hearing aids via Bluetooth from a mid range iPad creates imperfections that are not there. But, I could hear and feel the magic and I followed it to the end in spite of the handicaps. ❤️
De Bach à Haydn en passant par des œuvres bcp plus contemporaines qu'elle maitrise avec talent, A Balsom nous montre une fois de plus que la musique peut émouvoir tant son domaine est large. Si en plus cet instant nous est proposé avec finesse et profondeur, nous ne sommes pas loin du frisson......
So beautiful. I am absolutely in love. The years of practice and attention to all the finer things have not been wasted on me. I hear it, and I appreciate it. The princess of trumpet.....my lady....
+brian rhoads Bravo, bravo,bravo !! Bella, bella, bella !!! Beautiful, beautiful !!!! ALEXANDER BOOT Author, critic, polemicist Blogs > Alexander's blog > Submitted by Alexander on 24 June 2013 - 12:59pm The other day I listened to something or other on UA-cam, and a link to Chopin’s Fourth Ballade performed by the Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili came up. The link was accompanied by a close-up publicity photo of the musician: sloe bedroom eyes, sensual semi-open lips suggesting a delight that’s still illegal in Alabama, naked shoulders hinting at the similarly nude rest of her body regrettably out of shot… Let me see where my wife is… Good, she isn’t looking over my shoulder, so I can admit to you that the picture got me excited in ways one doesn’t normally associate with Chopin’s Fourth Ballade or for that matter any other classical composition this side of Wagner or perhaps Ravel’s Bolero. Searching for a more traditional musical rapture I clicked on the actual clip and alas found it anticlimactic, as it were. Khatia’s playing, though competent, is as undeniably so-what as her voluptuous figure undeniably isn’t. (Yes, I know the photograph I mentioned doesn’t show much of her figure apart from the luscious shoulders but, the prurient side of my nature piqued, I did a bit of a web crawl.) Just for the hell of it I looked at the publicity shots of other currently active female musicians, such as Yuja Wang, Joanna MacGregor, Nicola Bendetti, Alison Balsom (nicknamed ‘crumpet with a trumpet’, her promos more often suggest ‘a strumpet with a trumpet’ instead), Anne-Sophie Mutter and a few others. They didn’t disappoint the Peeping Tom lurking under my aging surface. Just about all the photographs showed the ladies in various stages of undress, in bed, lying in suggestive poses on top of the piano, playing in frocks (if any) open to the coccyx in the back and/or to the navel up front. This is one thing these musicians have in common. The other is that none of them is all that good at her day job and some, such as Wang, are truly awful. Yet this doesn’t really matter either to them or to the public or, most important, to those who form the public tastes by writing about music and musicians. Thus, for example, a tabloid pundit expressing his heartfelt regret that Nicola Benedetti “won’t be posing for the lads’ mags anytime soon. Pity, because she looks fit as a fiddle…” Geddit? She’s a violinist, which is to say fiddler - well, you do get it. “But Nicola doesn’t always take the bonniest photo,” continues the writer, “she’s beaky in pics sometimes, which is weird because in the flesh she’s an absolute knock-out. “The classical musician is wearing skinny jeans which show off her long legs. She’s also busty with a washboard flat tummy, tottering around 5ft 10in in her Dune platform wedges.” How well does she play the violin though? No one cares. Not even critics writing for our broadsheets, who don’t mind talking about musicians in terms normally reserved for pole dancers. Thus for instance runs a review of a piano recital at Queen Elizabeth Hall, one of London’s top concert venues: “She is the most photogenic of players: young, pretty, bare-footed; and, with her long dark hair and exquisite strapless dress of dazzling white, not only seemed to imply that sexuality itself can make you a profound musician, but was a perfect visual complement to the sleek monochrome of a concert grand... [but] there’s more to her than meets the eye.” The male reader is clearly expected to get a stiffie trying to imagine what that might be. To help his imagination along, the piece is accompanied by a photo of the young lady in question reclining on her instrument in a pre-coital position with an unmistakable ‘come and get it’ expression on her face. The ‘monochrome’ piano is actually bright-red, a colour usually found not in concert halls but in dens of iniquity. Nowhere does the review mention the fact obvious to anyone with any taste for musical performance: the girl is so bad that she should indeed be playing in a brothel, rather than on the concert platform. Can you, in the wildest flight of fancy, imagine a reviewer talking in such terms about sublime women artists of the past, such as Myra Hess, Maria Yudina, Maria Grinberg, Clara Haskil, Marcelle Meyer, Marguerite Long, Kathleen Ferrier? Can you see any of them allowing themselves to be photographed in the style of “lads’ mags”? I can’t, which raises the inevitable question: what exactly has changed in the last say 70 years? The short answer is, just about everything. Concert organisers and impresarios, who used to be in the business because they loved music first and wanted to make a living second, now care about nothing but money. Critics, who used to have discernment and taste, now have nothing but greed and lust for popularity. The public… well, don’t get me started on that. The circle is vicious: because tasteless ignoramuses use every available medium to build up musical nonentities, nonentities is all we get. And because the musical nonentities have no artistic qualities to write about, the writing nonentities have to concentrate on the more jutting attractions, using a vocabulary typically found in “lads’ mags”. The adage “sex sells” used to be applied first to B-movies, then to B-novels, and now to real music. From “sex sells” it’s but a short distance to “only sex sells”. This distance has already been travelled - and we are all being sold short.
Alison Eu estou aqui, junto te ouvindo, te meditando, te olhando, te calculando, te medindo para achar o que você é de verdade MUI Mui parabens Alison, encantadora Alison. Jakob Lopes
Bellísima la transcripción para trompeta de la melodía que hace originalmente el bandoneón en esta pieza. Exquisito el sonido y muy cuidada la ejecución de Alison Balson. Hermoso. Nunca había escuchado esta pieza así. Me encantó.
Quelle artiste !! Et en plus si belle et sexy, ça ne fait que rajeunir toute cette musique sacrée et ces œuvres uniques de Haydn et Hummel qui en avaient besoin !
This is really nice playing. The tuning is perfect between the trumpet and the guitar and you play together so well. The first time I heard this piece was with euphonium and piano - Anthony Caillat and Miki Fujii. Really nice too!
@@user-ok3yv2st2d No, I don't have it, but there must be possible to find it somewhere, unless it's a private arrangement! Maybe it's best to ask Alison Balsom herself!
Après avoir comparé les deux trompettistes, je pense qu'Alison Balson est un cran au dessus de M. André pour la virtuosité dans ses exécutions et pour le son , tout en nuances, qu'elle arrive à tirer de cet instrument avec une facilité qui déconcerte.On se demande où elle prend le souffle nécessaire pour jouer ainsi. Aucune déformation du visage, c'est d'une limpidité rarement entendue.
Impeccable musicianship and playing. But...a thought experiment...how different would an audience react if this same piece was performed by Piere Fournier?
+Elhombresombra -- I agree! Not to take away for the trumpet, but this arrangement with the guitar is ideal for the flugelhorn. The larger bore and bell of the flugelhorn would definitely give this piece of music a much more deserving rich and deep resonating sound.
ALISON JOU SCHOONHEID VAN JOU EN JOU MUZIEK DOET MIJN PIJN IN MIJN ZIEL DEZE KRACHT VAN LIEFDE VAN EEN ENGEL DIE IK ZO HEB MOETEN MISSEN GEEFT HOOP VOOR EEN NIEUW BEGIN WAAR WACHTEN NA TE LANG WAS BRENG JIJ MIJ DEZE BRENG ME DIT ZO DAT IK HET BEHOUDEN KAN DANK JE IK DANS OP JOU DE TANGO WAAR IK OOK EEN MOOI GEDICHT OVER HEB GESCHREVEN WOUTER JOANNES
7 minutes of pure bliss. No time, no space, just floating on the wings of music and sounds. Stunning performance.
I just discovered Alison....I will not stop listening.
Wow.
Her work on the Baroque Trumpet was eye opening for me as a former trumpet and bugle player in my teens.
She makes me want to take up the trumpet again...at 53. Lol.
Anyway.. ..thank you Alison Balsam.
Listening through two hearing aids via Bluetooth from a mid range iPad creates imperfections that are not there. But, I could hear and feel the magic and I followed it to the end in spite of the handicaps. ❤️
And I thought that Alison was just a Classical player. Fantastic sound and feeling in the playing. World Class!
The trumpet truly sounds like it's singing. Amazing.
Sensitive guitar playing and then with magical intonation Balsom just deftly dovetails her trumpet into the score. Wow!
Hauntingly beautiful. Thank you.
I am enraptured. The sound of guitar & trumpet is gorgeous. The music is evocative...it takes you to another place & time.
Jo Burnette It kinda makes me feel separated from time itself
wonderful! Every time I listen it, I can keep calm and feel comfort. Thanks, Alison and Piazzola
Un espléndido compositor y bandoneonista fue Astor Pantaleón Piazzolla. Tuve el honor de conocerlo.
De Bach à Haydn en passant par des œuvres bcp plus contemporaines qu'elle maitrise avec talent, A Balsom nous montre une fois de plus que la musique peut émouvoir tant son domaine est large. Si en plus cet instant nous est proposé avec finesse et profondeur, nous ne sommes pas loin du frisson......
Alison you are just brilliant. What an amazing trumpet sound and so effortless. Transfixing.
Thankyou very much for the music, I' m one inconditional fan,I Wish you all the BEST
tous les registres lui conviennent à merveille....mais je trouve qu'elle sublime les musiques de Piazzola...
So beautiful. I am absolutely in love. The years of practice and attention to all the finer things have not been wasted on me. I hear it, and I appreciate it. The princess of trumpet.....my lady....

***** Si no me equivoco, esta pieza fue originalmente compuesta por guitarra y flauta travesera, pero sería muy hermosa también en el bandoneón.
Quelle artiste !! Et en plus si belle et sexy, ça ne fait que rajeunir toute cette musique sacrée et ces œuvres uniques de Haydn et Hummel qui en avaient besoin !
Adore her Admire her Applauding salute to her for incredible magical divine artistic creativity.

simplemente hermosa melodía
Simply beautiful...
This is really nice playing. The tuning is perfect between the trumpet and the guitar and you play together so well.
The first time I heard this piece was with euphonium and piano - Anthony Caillat and Miki Fujii. Really nice too!
Tore Nyhammer Do you have this trumpet score？
Yes it's beatiful but the version with guitar and flauta is magical...
@@user-ok3yv2st2d No, I don't have it, but there must be possible to find it somewhere, unless it's a private arrangement! Maybe it's best to ask Alison Balsom herself!
@@angelicaj.restrepo1464 I think I haven't heard it, but I will try to find it and listen to it!
@@toreg.nyhammer6328 look at this version, have a nice day.

Mind - blowing !
The 25 people who disliked this are woodwinds who are jealous of Alison
I knew Astor sometime ago, in the eighties. What an honour!!!!
Y'all gonna hate me but i'm here for the fanfic's respect
I am a trumpet player and I am here just for the fanfic too
Sounds like L O R E
why, it's great to see you *tips hat*
Maravilloso. Gracias.
Superb !!!!!!!!!!!
BEAUTIFUL
I love this
Wow. Just wow.
It's so beautiful~♥
maravilloso
Amazing!!!
Love this! Can just about play it on the clarinet
ALISON BALSOM.! "THE BEST AROUND THE WORLD.!!!
The lady does make the heart want more.
Sublime...
Stupendo!!
Obrigado edu
Sublime

superbe!
Great performance, all I can say.🇹🇴
Toca muito Alison Balsom 👏👏👏
Alison balson this is tuning yes perfect
Super!!!
ouaaa j aime tellement ! je suis dans l optique de réussir a jouer comme elle très bientôt !!
I like how you brought it down the octave
I request you hear this for Euphonium! It is beautiful!
Joe pickle man Www
Specially played by Anthony Caillet
yes im here from sad-ist but holy shit this song makes me cry
Ikr. I play the Trumpet and I tried playing this and when I tell you. This makes it sound so effortless. She's pure experience and talent.
Es muy hermoso, ella es perfecta, su sonido es perfecto!!
Have a nice day!
Magnifique trompettiste au féminin dont le son me rappelle celui de Maurice André le grand maître qui n'est plus!
Après avoir comparé les deux trompettistes, je pense qu'Alison Balson est un cran au dessus de M. André pour la virtuosité dans ses exécutions et pour le son , tout en nuances, qu'elle arrive à tirer de cet instrument avec une facilité qui déconcerte.On se demande où elle prend le souffle nécessaire pour jouer ainsi.

Как Прекрасно!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bal(sa)m for my soul.
환상적
👏👏👏👏👏
SUBLIME COMBINACION
Her performance is magical. Divine. Everytime. All the time.
Pity nobody dances in cafe's anymore 🙂👍
Thank you for sharing beautiful music.
Does Alison compose,
her own music?
OK... that was fabulous. Have you recorded the Toot Suite?
Impeccable musicianship and playing. But...a thought experiment...how different would an audience react if this same piece was performed by Piere Fournier?
Can a trumpet ever play a melody as expresivly as a cello?
y de quién es la guitarra?
2023.3.11일 감사합니다
Impeccable, but why must we wonder who the guitarist is?
Hi Mjollnir50, I have the CD right in front of me! The guitar is played by Milos Karadaglic.
Thank you, RogerC.
All beautiful it is, I think it would've been better suited if she had played this song on a flugelhorn instead of a trumpet.
Her tone is already comparable to a flugelhorn's
멋있다ㅎㅎ
너의 말을 좋아해요 ㅋㅋ
well...anyway...anyhow...she s a diva on trumpets....
The guitarist surely deserves a mention - at least tell us who they are!
You are right. His name is Miloš Karadaglić. (milosguitar.com)
Why on Earth not on FLUGELHORN???... God, I'm dying to hear this played on flugel, it would fit like anything else!!!... Why, Alison?... :'-(
+Elhombresombra -- I agree! Not to take away for the trumpet, but this arrangement with the guitar is ideal for the flugelhorn. The larger bore and bell of the flugelhorn would definitely give this piece of music a much more deserving rich and deep resonating sound.
I think it sounds pretty on the trumpet :)
It will be very dull if she played this on flugelhorn
The high E at 1:44 is tough to sound good every time on flugelhorn.
"Though" is everyday's bread for professional musicians... ;o)
Que som aveludado, nem parece trompete
3:50 for me tq
Is it possible to buy sheet music of this?
Julian Ritsch yes.
+Julian Ritsch try the flute version, nearly the same (and free)
Do you have this trumpet score？
Unfortunately no .
sad
Who is composer?
Hi Taif, I have the CD right in front of me! The composer is Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992)
오케스트라와 협주곡을 연주 할 능력 있는 여성 트럼페터
うますぎる
どれだけ練習したんだろ
Entendre le bruit d'une bouteille d'alcool fort allongée dans le vent
Vous devriez regarder dans les yeux d'une vieille écrivaine.
,
I prefer the euphonium and piano arrangement but this is beautiful too
It disappointed me that she could hit a beautiful high E but didn't hit the high F# but great job
Thats because an F is not in the music eh
ALISON JOU SCHOONHEID VAN JOU EN JOU MUZIEK DOET MIJN PIJN IN MIJN ZIEL DEZE

Euphonium is the best
I play Euphonium and the Version from Anthony is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard...
But I think this is also 🔝
Absolutely off.

I love your trumpet sound, dear Alison. Please have a look at notenlink.de in Germany to "Trompetenstück II". Thank you and best wishes, Axel
