[@georgesgautheron4184]

Lorsque que j'écoute madame Alison Balsom, l'envie me prend de transformer ma trompette en lampadaire.🎺😍

[@alessandrasaba4015]

🤣🤣🤣excellente idée, sans aucun doute.... Je ferai la même chose avec mon Bach 43 Stradivarius : un fantastique abat-jour.🤣🤣🤣

[@michelt4149]

[@larrytasker7043]

Alison -you are the best trumpet player on the planet in my opinion. I love your musicality, phrasing, control and your sound -rich, and you make it sound so easy when it isn't

Perfections pure..

[@edstud1]

Amazing, she must have a phenomenal ability to memorize music, aside from her technical playing skill.

[@benclarke4075]

It is surprisingly easy to memorize such a technically challenging piece such as this, with repeated practice of small sections it will come quite naturally

[@doitallman]

It sounds weird in this key to me. But great playing .

[@jacktreahy4270]

Now old is Alison in this solo?

[@danielkalus7792]

Elle devrait écouter PETKOV.

[@AttilaSimko-yd2oy]

Szerintem 6:22 es 6:26 között...

[@bjs2022]

Too bad it’s squeezed to 4:3.

[@tenochramos4775]

NO as good as Hakan Handerberg!! but is Ok!

[@billg583]

That is what is so beautiful about music. You can appreciate Hakan Handerberg more. Both are amazing to me. Hakan seems more classically true to Arban to me. Yet, I prefer Allison for this one. I love her phrasing. Unfortunately (for me in my listening pleasure) the recording of Hakan Handerberg was done in a room with lots of echoing. As the echo dissipates, it bleeds over into the next note on the faster variation. To other's that echoing effect may be more pleasing to their ear. I do suspect that Allison's version has more post production editing as that has become more common these last few years.

[@larrytasker7043]

Alison Balsom for me any time. OK you say-bit mean.
