@Flossferry First off, it's Maurice Andre'. Secondly, if you think Alison Balsom and Maurice Andre have similar sounds, you're going to want to spend some more time listening.
@nakedBison69 Dig Dig Dig but there's no way out - Self-Hating Jew, say what? sounds like this Bison has his own complex with his faith that he has to put others' down. Such a shame....Such a shame but whose to blame????
Ms. Balsom is an extraordinary talent! She makes the trumpet "sing" with all of the subtleties of "voice". Just wonderful playing! It's more than just how she plays, clearly she loves Bach and you can hear it in her performance. Bravo!
Anyone care for Concerto for Two Trumpets (of course it should be w/Tine)? Alison you are simply wonderful... so delicate, yet commanding. Masterful. I can't help but believe that Maurice listens to you and his heart swells. For all the things wrong in this world I am so glad that God still gives us talent like you. It makes our world so much better to have that beauty. Thanks. Bessos.
Jimraw1, It has come to pass that many Handel`s operas are now considered to be among the greatest operas ever composed. And many are still unknown. Handel is a victim of the Bach craze, and that is starting to right itself. Haydn is a`like" victim to Mozart for the same reasons. The stupid movie Amadeus made Mozart a god, which he was not.
prá mim é mais um ou uma que toca trumpet em tatui-sp-Brasil tá cheio disso e tocam até melhor porque é um dos melhores conservatórios do mundo, só num tem fama porque não são norte americanos que tem mania e égo de serem melhores que os outros, e sim Brasileiros sul americanos com a Graça de DEUS.
Bach is the man, no question. But there is an equally great composer who of the greatest composers is known by the fewest number of works. But once one takes the time to listen to those works,(and he wrote more than Bach), one becomes aware of his towering genius. He should never be compared to Bach or Bach to him, because they are different. Handel is his name, and he is also the man.
@shnimmuc You are so right about Handel. By the mid 18th century no composer was more respected by his peers than Handel. Ironically his best known piece - Messiah - was composed in just 24 days. If Handel doesn't get the respect he deserves (and I'm not sure that's the case now), I would say it's because his operas are probably his weakest compositions, and opera was probably considered the true measuring stick of a composer at that time.
Alison rocks, period. That said, I've a little beef with playing pieces mostly transcribed to picc. I realize that's closest what Bach would've been dealing with for trumpet, but many of Bach's works sound gorgeous on the bigger horns! I'm glad there's one on here, but so many more of the aires sound amazing on the larger horn. =) The picc is emphasized too much more than the big horn in Bach transcriptions, IMO: he already wrote for natural trumpet.
