  • "These baroque composers knew the instrument they were writing for," says Alison Balsom. Her album Royal Fireworks captures the joy and solemnity of this dazzling musical era, through trumpet works by Handel, Purcell, Bach, and Telemann. Discover here: wce.lnk.to/rfLY
    "I’ve been making recordings for almost 20 years and this has been by far the most enjoyable recording experience I’ve had," says Alison. "The music is full of utter joy and magic, the versions we play are often new, and in some cases quite maverick. The thrill of recording with some of the greatest artists around, all of us on Baroque instruments, who happen to also be my good friends, has been a privilege."

    That final expiration by the artist provides insight into how difficult it is to play with such control and delicacy at an extreme register. Reminds me a bit of Adolph Herseth--huge, effortless sound, but his face would turn beet red all the while.

      It looks like it's around the same range as a modern B-flat trumpet and she's playing pretty high up, like high C and a bit above, for a lot of the notes, plus it's classical so it has to be dead-on, no jazzing around, so yeah.

      I played this piece this semester as a jury for my lessons on the A-side of the piccolo trumpet. The first movement was always the hardest to get through because it’s the slowest movement the trumpet plays on, around eighth note equals 68 bpm. The entire piece is beautiful, and I loved playing it this semester

      @@adrianwright8685 So why doesn't she play a plastic trumpet for hers recordings (like the pTrumpet she tried on another video) or just use a keyboard with a sampled trumpet like the organist? You just wrote that playing a sampled instrument it's the same thing as recording a real instrument and listening to it on UA-cam. Well, that's not true. It's possible that this digital organ is using a real sampled instrument but sampling and re-using an instrument has nothing to do with just recording a real instrument an replay it.
      When you sample an instrument you just record every single note and every single pipe of every single stop. Then you mix them together (digitally with algorithms) use add reverberation (digitally created or convulsion reverber) and you get the digital organ. When you record a real pipe organ you are not only recording the pipes but also the sound and frequency interactions within the pipes and the interaction of the instrument with the room acoustics. So no, recording and listening to a digital organ has nothing to do with listening to a recording of a real pipe organ.

    • @paradoxmo

      Digital organs are these days very good and professional organists often use them. They can go a lot more places than an acoustic organ can, which I would guess was the incentive to use one here. Chamber organs are hard to keep in tune when moved, and likely wasn’t worth the hassle.
