Alison Balsom and the Balsom Ensemble – excerpt
An evening pause: An example of some Baroque music as it actually sounded when written, using instruments of the time. This is a follow-up to the evening pause last week.
Sean Mann – Little Wing
An evening pause: Worth contrasting with the playing of Bach by Andrés Segovia, posted as an evening pause last week. Very different music but equally unique and beautiful. And the talent to play it is as equally magnificent.

Alison Balsom – Introducing the Baroque Trumpet
An evening pause: Another music history lesson to start the weekend. As she says, listening to baroque music played on this instrument explains a great deal about that music, and definitely tells you what that music was expected to sound like when composed, compared to playing it on modern instruments. Far more haunting, a word I would never have used to describe Baroque music before.
