Her triple tongue is incredible. And her slurring from one to next is crazy. She's amazing

[gregorykusiak]

The older I get, the more Bach’s work resonates and moves me.

[mkshffr]

I love the way she practically dances through the performance. it is real to her.

[captainrobertcowley]

This an extraordinary piece, especially as she is performing with a Piccolo Trumpet. Marvellous

[dubasciver]

Man, that performance even sounded difficult. The skill she has is nothing short of incredible.

[이선휴-wr]

A virtuosal piece, especially for a trumpet. Almost unbelievable that she played it flawlessly with a trumpet!

[sbcap]

That must have been the professor on the organ. My goodness, the perfection in her notes and clarity in the pitch and the ramblin Rose Organist. Great musician she is.😊

[KeithW]

What am emence talent this lady is ... Privlage to see her artistry.

[Antifogasta]

Bravo University of Leicester - from a Newcastle University academic. And Ms Balsom is always such a pleasure to hear.

[adolflazary]

I came down to the comments to see if anyone else noticed the organist. You all did not disappoint.

[WilberWiley]

OF ALL THE PEOPLE I HAVE HEARD PLAY THE TRUMPET, I LIKE ALISON THE BEST. WHY? I DONT KNOW. JUST A SMOOTH SOUND WITH NO MISTAKES.

[OptimisticFloppyDisc-bzqi]

Perfect sound! wonderful! What a nice music! her rich music makes me happy. I love her trumpet sound. She is the NO.1woman solo trumpet player in the world.

[Weesel]

That was great! Never heard that piece before, but it was more than the music. She literally put herself into the music. Brava!

[harryjoseph]

Lady what articulation, what a virtuoso performance! You can afford to 'blow your own trumpet'.
Bravo, dear madam!

[gordonadams]

My lips and tongue are tired just listening. This is extraordinary!
