Info for Baroque Concertos

Barocke Strahlkraft in geschmeidiger und fließender Erzählung: Endlich meldet sich Alison Balsom mit ihrem Kernrepertoire auf neuem Album zurück: „Baroque Concertos“ vereint die Musik von barocken Meistern wie Händel, Telemann, Marcello oder Vivaldi, mit der die britische Trompeterin erneut die virtuose Strahlkraft ihres Spiels unter Beweis stellt. Der SPIEGEL hat es einmal als faszinierende Mischung aus „coolem Ton und heißem Ausdruck“ beschrieben – passend für eine Musikerin, die vieles unter einen Hut zu bringen weiß.

Dass Alison Balsom den Kontrast liebt, macht bereits die künstlerische Konstellation des Albums deutlich: Hier trifft sie mit ihrem langjährigen Weggefährten Trevor Pinnock und seinen Pinnock’s Players auf ausgewiesene Spezialisten des historisch informierten Aufführungspraxis. Alison Balsom selbst ist an der modernen Piccolo-Trompete zu hören, auf der sie den subtilen, facettenreichen Klang des Barockinstruments einfängt und gleichzeitig um die Möglichkeiten des modernen Instrumentenbaus erweitert. „Die Möglichkeit, chromatischere und virtuosere Musik aufzuführen, wie sie ursprünglich für Solovioline oder Oboe geschrieben wurde, hat mich und meine Trompetenkollegen seit den Tagen des großen Maurice André in ihren Bann gezogen“, sagt Balsom. Mit Werken wie Marcellos unsterblichem Oboenkonzert d-Moll oder Händels Concerto grosso HWV 323 tritt sie auf diesem Album den Beweis an, dass die Trompete im barocken Kontext nicht nur festlich glänzen, sondern auch geschmeidig singen, fließen und erzählen kann.
