Apple Music Classical

This British trumpeter has magnificent reserves of brassy sound that are ideal for Handel's celebrations of past royals. Balsom's sharp exclamations are balanced by her overall burnished technique, and they shine through in mellower pieces. Her crisp rhythmic dexterity is pushed to the fore in her bold and meticulous performances of select Bach works arranged for the trumpet. With an interest in modern music that reaches from Paul Hindemith to her compatriot Peter Maxwell Davies, Balsom has proven herself to be an indispensable part of the classical scene's elite brass section.
