Deep introspection into the realm of Erik Satie. Wonderful and sad at the same time. Great work by Ms. Balsom 🧐👌
La trompette est l'instrument du style que l'interprète est capable de lui donner. Ce gymnopédie, comme le gnossienne de l'album, est superbe de mélancolie. Etre capable de jouer avec ce pianissimo relève d'une grande maitrise, d'une grande sensibilité et d'une grande virtuosité. Bravo Alison!
I have lived in paris for 26 years, I used to go back there on weekends to walk the streets, drink a coffee on a nice terasse and I can tell that this music reminds me my hometown
She's perfection beyond imagination. A Divine graceful perfection. Alison Balsom. A incredible unprecedented levels of perfection. I just adore , worship her artistic creativity . A knowledge of ARTISTIC creativity. Trumpet player. Highest possible level of perfection. Beyond the human abilities. That kinda perfectionism of trumpet performance.
FANTASTIC
Alison is as beautiful as her tone. Wow...
She makes it look effortless
Its the aim of an excellent artist : to hide the effort and to show only the expression of beauty or anything else that make sense in our soul directly as if God or your mother or father speak quietly and friendly to your ear ....
It probably is effortless when you practise as much as she does I imagine.
Maravillosa música mejorada con la trompeta
If Miles Davis was called The Prince of Darkness, Alison Balsom should be called the Princess of Light.
Amazing performance, her level of playing is stratospheric.
STUNNING.
Great as usual
Magnifique "Merci"!
This tune is really beautiful. It makes me have a cozy evening. Thanks for sharing the music.
Lord, yes; thanks beyond words for such music.
Sound: Check. Musicality: Check.
WONDERFUL MUSIC.
A peaceful ache. Such complex emotional interplay. How does she do it?
another fantastic musican!!!
Merci.
I just love the perfection in simplicity in Satis music... it's Zen-sound...;-)
magnifique comme toujours!
Perhaps my ears are olaying tricks on me, but...what I like about this "sound" is that you are actually hearing the pure music coming from the trumpet...and not the re erb or echo that one often hears in pther pieces of music.
Enchanting..
Very nice !!!
Fabulous.
Fantástico!
Exactly what I was looking for.
Elle a une sonorité unique et exceptionnelle
Her levels of perfection. Something beyond my all known abilities. Gracias. Thanks. Adore and abide and applauding salute. To her divine perfection.
Wonderful!
Beautiful!
Marvellous
A quand Alison Balsom à la philarmonie de Paris ?....On se le demande..!!!!
This was so beautiful - it prompted me to think that duets between Alison and Diana Krall would be knockouts.
brilliant
She's divine.
tears and smile
she talks to the stars ? sublime tone
Such a fine Musician! ❤️
wunderbar
To put it simply just balsam for the soul.
Just wonderful!!! :)))
Quanta passione complimenti.
Sublime.
I love it !!

Alison Balsom ♥ ♫⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰ ♥
mui magnifico e explendito.
Linda maravilhosa Deus abençoe vocês
so is beatiful
Good music
不错不错
C´mon, why does nobody give credit to Satie?
all of his music is very beautiful and special to me... ZEN-music!
Nobody? Satie has brought me to classical music in my youth. A genius, alongside another of my favourites, the distinctive Francis Poulenc.
Could chill alllllllll month or until covid insanity passes.
One classy lady
I love you
Un clip superbe, ou à été tourné ce clip ?Angleterre, Irlande ?, des murs de briques .....
Sound like a western music, with a taste of Burt Bacharach, on Eric Satie music.
I expected this to sound like not that good? But I was surprised this was amazing.
Such a mature voice on that C trumpet, I think. I wonder if the same spell could be cast on an A piccolo trumpet. Just wondering. I do play this a lot. Can’t seem to hear it enough.
if only I could play like that

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.
+Georges Cancan how long it take you to right this crap I can't read this chapter book
Is there a sheetmusic from this?
Sam Mendes is a very lucky guy....
Gosto notas longas afinada
So smooth and beautiful. Love her sound! Perfection!
I play it on piano, but it sounds different when played on trumpet.
!!!!!
this is just great. But not to take anything away from her but I would like to hear Chris Botti try this as his horn sounds different and just curios.
Fucking wonderful I love it
People don't understand Gymnopedie. That's understandable. It's intended as a mystery. Yes, I knowingly contradict myself.
What's to understand?
Stuart Safford concordance . And agreed. Exactly what the case is. Amalgam of the meager amount of knowledge.
Stuart Safford she's more than something called finest perfection. She's highest possible performance of the unprecedented levels of sophisticated perfection. She's beyond everything considered always a human level grandest achievement. She's divine grace . Divine grace. She's unimaginable creativity in an human life form . Kneel before her for magical divine artistic creativity. She's divine grace.
Where can I get the sheet music for this I want to learn it so bad but can’t find it
חוה אלברשטיין
omg
Ce n'est pas absolument mauvais, mais une gymnopédie est de la mélancolie et un peu de tritesse. La trompette est l'instrument du triomphe, de la joie et de la proclamation. Peut-être un saxophone.
c'est mélancolique et triste.... faudrait ouvrir les écoutilles mon cher JJ
JJ Lemire On the contrary, I think it makes for an interesting contrast.
This is probably the most weird comment I have read in my youtube browsings ... a trumpet is for sad music what your mouth is to opinions .
Je ne parles pas Français, so I will write in English. You would have to be closed minded to think that trumpet is only triumphant and is incapable of expressing deep emotion. The greatest of classical composers have written beautiful passages for trumpet that are far from triumphant.
Andrew Devall I agree with you.
Moim marzeniem jest pisać własne utwory , na razie mam tylko jeden na trąbkę ....,,w głębokiej ciszy ,,

GOOD FOR HIGH TECH. INVENTIONS FROM RAYMOND CHESHING TONG OF SCIENCE HISTORY WORLD.
Paris? Looks like London to me...
Paris is the album title. All the songs on the album relate to Paris in some way. It does look like it was taped in London though.
+Jazz2772 fair enough. Satie did indeed compose his top hits in Paris.
she does not give it the proper caracter...
I don't like the key she's playing in.
Wonderful!
Eine wunderschöne Frau und das Instrument, einfach himmlisch!❤
Hauntingly beautiful.
I love her sound!
Uma inglesa trouxe os compositores franceses para os ouvidos dos saxões, esta moça é incrível!
beautiful way of playing trumpet ..
Vladymyr Rybalchenko :-)
glad we enjoy it both
Vladymyr Rybalchenko
Very beautiful and musical.
Alison I absolutely love your version I’m hugely influenced. Andy Carvill Piano & Mark Hemmings Harmonica
Incredible sound quality, ease of playing, musicianship, emotion Alison you have it all. And you have a beautiful smile that lights up the room, and you are a good person helping aspiring young brass player in Africa. You really are arguably the best trumpet player in the world right now.I love listening to you its awe inspiring -from New Zealand.
I feel like I rediscover this piece very time I hear it on a new instrument.
Alison♥️🎺
