5 out of 5 stars

March 2006

A disc of arrangements which is impressive on every level. Beautifully mellow playing contrasting with virtuosic moments.
5 out of 5 stars

May 2006

Two transposed movements from BWV1008 and a mischievous solo take on the Badinerie (from BWV1067) showcase Balsom's phenomenal technique and gleaming expressiveness. Period-instrument practitioners Alina Ibragimova, Mark Caudle and Alastair Ross provide superb accompaniment in a charismatic version of the Trio Sonata. A surprisingly diverse range of textures and moods makes this disc a beguiling experience.
