Summary:
The trumpeter Alison Balsom has a rich Warner Classics catalog, but this is her first CD recital with piano - here played by her long-standing recital partner, Tom Poster. Balsom describes the progam as embracing 'the most important repetoire for trumpet and piano,' taking a fascinating journey through 20th century works by such composers as Enescu; Hindemith; Martinu; Francaix; Bernstein; and Maxwell Davies.
