The careful selection of covers on Windy City speaks volumes about Alison Krauss’ inspirations as an artist. Here, she offers a warmly nostalgic musical tour of mid-century Nashville. These are deep cuts—among the Bill Monroe b-sides and obscure bluegrass covers are only a few hits by Glen Campbell and Brenda Lee. But Krauss makes every song sound effortlessly her own, from the string-accompanied heartbreak “Losing You” to the gently swinging twang of “Dream of Me."

“I realised from early on that it wasn’t just a trumpet, it was a voice that could seemingly do anything … It can have such fabulous colours, be so versatile, and make such a beautiful sound. I will vigorously defend it for the rest of my life.” Alison Balsom is a passionate and eloquent advocate for her instrument and its creative possibilities – and for cultivating a rich and diverse repertoire. Her phenomenal range as a virtuoso and an interpreter can be experienced to the full with Magic Trumpet. Embracing 20 pieces whose timeline runs from the splendour of the Baroque era to the popular idioms of the 20th century, Magic Trumpet confirms just why The Sunday Times has written: “The music is glorious; so is Balsom’s artistry.”

For fanciers of the trumpet and brilliant trumpeting, this is a wonderful disc. Bach, as far as we know, and unlike Telemann, Stölzel, and many other Baroque composers, not to mention Haydn and Hummel who followed them, did not write any concerted works specifically for the trumpet. Nonetheless, his assignment of important obbligato parts to it in a number of his cantatas, orchestral suites, and of course the Brandenburg No. 2, attests both to his appreciation of the instrument and to the high expectations he had for its technical mastery.

This is one of the best albums of all time. It's masterfully produced and it goes to show how someone can turn their struggle into beautiful art. She was going through a divorce while creating the album. You can see sorrow, cynicism, hope, joy, and revelation in her lyrics, which are then offered on the platter of her AMAZING vocals. Few artists have the weighty presence she does, which can't be ignored. These are the songs that joyfully stick in your head, making you wish you had the cd nearby. It's everything it should be–cathartic, inspirational, and energizing.

Edward Gregson is a composer of international standing whose music has been performed, broadcast, and commercially recorded worldwide. Gregson is renowned for his concertos and music for band, but his chamber music reveals a more enquiring voice. In recent years these works have been enriched with greater expressive and emotional depth, ranging here from youthful impressionism to the fearsome virtuosity of Triptych, a competition test piece. Gregson’s First String Quartet was acclaimed by one critic as ‘an extraordinary work, both gritty and serene’, while the evocative colours of the Second are framed by the gentle lilt of a Siciliana.
