It’s actually nice to hear her natural tone without the reverb of a hall coloring the tone or the engineers eq’d sound in the recordings.

Very Soul and Calming piece of the Thea Musgrave... Thank you for sharing!!!!

I've 'saved' all of YOUR favourite renditions on the simple trumpet. I have only two words for you "WOW" & "THANKS" You are a master on this instrument. You've made my 'Trumpet listening' go to a higher level of music appreciation. Loving your English accent, as well as I'm English by birth. "T.T.F.N." (Ta-Ta-For-Now). Keep playing your Trumpet.

Great showcase for your awesome talent. Thanks for sharing, especially the background of the pieces.

Such a phenomenal musician

She´s so wonderful.

Very instructive explanation and demonstration. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for this !!!

So beautiful music! 🎺🎶🎵

Such talent.. Thanks Alison, very informative. 3rd piece reminded me of Badinage.

Love this for sure thank you Alison

I could listen to you all day!

Wow. It's Perfection !!!

Super. The Fasch concerto is elegant and such a last movement!

Lindo trabalho congratulações

Awesome!

Of course she is an astounding intellect!❤❤🎉🎉😅😅

i especially love the Hummel. Your playing sounds beautiful.

평소 선생님 영상 골라서 잘 보고 있습니다.좋은 영상 감사합니다

No Vivaldi? Concerto for Two Trumpets? Sheer beauty!

Excellent first ~rate

You hear the harmonics of a perfect 4th coming off her bell like in the second movement when she is playing the E Flat? It’s ringing underneath with an undertone. Pretty amazing.

On the Haydn in the beginning, the "fanfare" she refers to (I call it a "call") is during the long orchestral intro. Quite a few soloists don't bother to even play the two fanfares. I think Haydn was leading the listener step by step to what the keyed trumpet could do. The fanfare is typical of the sort of things natural trumpets did. Nothing unusual there. Then the piece actually has notes going up throughout the scale. And shortly after, a descending chromatic. That chromatic would have been viewed as sensational at the time.

I think you'd be correct to refer to it as a "call" such as the American "First Call (originally "Ass'y of the Buglers" aka "Call to Post") is used in the US almost ubiquitously* to summon buglers to their posts (and later - about 1860s - horse and jockey to the starting line). *the late George "Bucky" Sallee (+2016), of the Lexington, KY Keeneland track used the US cavalry call "Boots and Saddles," whose name drives from the French phrase boute-selle, "put on saddle."

A great player.

If I’m not mistaken, the Hummel was originally composed in E and transposed to Eb so it was easier

@GordonHudson

2 жыл бұрын

It was transposed to Eb to make it easier on Bb trumpet, but there are several recordings of it in E. One quote early from Maurice Andre recorded on a C trumpet (it lies easily under the fingers on a C trumpet surprisingly in spite of the four sharps) and later one by Hakan Hardenberg on C trumpet. More recent recordings in E have been done on special E trumpets built for the purpose - which seems a bit pointless to me as you would never use that instrument for anything else.

@@GordonHudson Gordon are you sure the Hardenberger one was recorded on a C trumpet? He has a very ‘full symphonic ‘ sound’ on the C trumpet the recording I have I am sure it’s an E trumpet same as Wynton Marsalis he did it later when he re-recorded it and he plays it in E too. Very famous trumpet maker Schilke have made a trumpet in E for years.

@@GordonHudson you are forgetting that you can use the E trumpet for one single fairly rarely played orchestral excerpt - Pulcinella - which of course justifies laying out a few grand on an E trumpet.

The 1956 Sonata for Trumpet by Halsey Stevens is pretty worthy, I think. Perhaps not technically a "concerto", but it does have three movements, so it is somewhat a distinction without a difference perhaps. Halsey Stevens got on my radar when I was in an orchestra that probably played the one and only performance of his "Four Pieces for Orchestra" that was based on four of the pieces from his "Five Pieces for Band" that is played a lot.

Nice to hear her comparing it to sport. She must follow sports, athletics etc, where the GREATEST can be identified.

My own personal favourite is Handel’s trumpet concerto in D minor..just a personal opinion.

I’m completely in love ❤ with you Master Trumpeter 🎺 Alison.

Thank You Alison and Classic FM. For one of the oldest instruments( it goes back to Biblical times) its amazing how few works have been composed for the trumpet. What interests me is the way Alison plays. Unlike say Louis Armstrong, she doesnt expand her cheeks. I dont know if the demands of the jazz trumpet requires a different technique , though Wynton Marsalis recorded it in the 1980s to much acclaim

@lalalalelele1189

Жыл бұрын

Jazz trumpeters are often self - taught musicians who come up with some quirky techniques which work great for them. Best example is probably Dizzy Gillespie. Whereas classically trained trumpet players like Alison normally take lessons with teachers and things like puffing your cheeks are very unusual in the classical world.

Why...thanks dearie ^/^
