In dulci jubilo – Alison Balsom & The Balsom Ensemble

Synopsis

The trumpets’ carolling sound and the festive baroque repertoire associated with it are the key ingredients for this most atmospheric of Christmas concerts. Award-winning British musician Alison Balsom explores dazzling original compositions by Bach, Bendinelli, Biber, Zamboni, and Handel. The trumpet’s lyrical voice is also present in her transcriptions and arrangements of songs by Dowland and Arcangelo Corelli’s Concerto grosso in G minor, known commonly as the “Christmas Concerto”. The Balsom Ensemble, accompanying the “Queen of trumpet” (Hamburger Abendblatt), consists of “splendid musicians of historical performance practice” (Die Welt), all hand-picked by Balsom.
