      The organist should really practice with a metronome and know the delay of the organ's touch to sound. There are sometimes not enough hours in the week, but for something like this, I'd prepare a month in advance.

Or, a physical grace or attraction (her feminine charms). Ms. Balsom's performance is at a level only very accomplished musicians can muster (this takes years of dedicated work/discipline/intellect). She is also lovely to watch as (at times) she moves in rhythm to the tempo the work is written in and (IMHO) possess a beautiful face and a warm, enchanting smile (at the end of her performance). Furthermore, if you think she is simply "standing their playing a trumpet", than you need to go back to watching/listening to Wu Tang Clan (and that sort) were dedication of work, discipline and intellect are not so much a requirement, dude.

      Still Bill This comment could be construed as kind of creepy for a lot of reasons, but picking on a another art form because you have only ever studied old white men in your life(no hate, I too am studying old white men at a conservatory) is just ignorant and makes you sound stupid. You sound like the classical musicians who believe that jazz is an “inferior art form” because it goes against everything that classical musicians are trained to do. Just because people practice different styles than you(that’s right, believe it or not, it takes a lot of practice and dedication to your art to be like Wu Tang Clan) doesn’t make them any less than an art that you practice, and it certainly doesn’t give you the right to use it as a point of comparison as to why this particular soloist is superior to all other musical art forms that you don’t respect.

    Bear in mind this is supposed to be played on the natural trumpet. The little trumpet is a help in some ways as you have valves for the fiddly bits and the upper notes are a bit more accessible but the downside of the little trumpet sound is somewhat exposed in this recording.
