Royal Fireworks, a collection of Baroque masterpieces and new arrangements performed with the Balsom Ensemble (her hand-picked ensemble of period instrument specialists), will be Balsom’s 13th solo release for Warner Classics and her first since 2016’s Jubilo. The album sees her perform on the natural (valveless) trumpet and features concertos and orchestral masterpieces by Handel, JS Bach, Telemann and Purcell. A pioneer of adapting works written for other solo instruments, Balsom is committed to demonstrating the versatility of the trumpet and will feature three new orchestrations by arranger Simon Wright on the album.

‘I’ve been making recordings for almost 20 years and this has been by far the most enjoyable recording experience I’ve had,’ Balsom comments. ‘The music is full of utter joy and magic, the versions we play are often new, and in some cases quite maverick. The thrill of recording with some of the greatest artists around, all of us on Baroque instruments, who happen to also be my good friends, has been a privilege. I hope the pleasure we got from playing this music comes across on the album.’

It may be just a problem of words but I wouldn't like them to call natural trumpet if they drilled tone holes on it.
My friend says period trumpet with tone holes should be called baroque trumpet, not natural one.
From YouTube she plays the trumpet with tone holes.
Performance is elegant and excellent !
Thanks

Salut
en effet les trompettes à l'époque était dite naturel, ou on changeait des tons(en la ou en ré ou autres ), et elle avait aussi des trous pour les doigtées, maintenant on la trompette piccolo grâce à Maurice André, qui est plus pratique, c'est la mode, on rejoue les instruments d'époque, mais on voit quand on fait un trille par les lèvres et non par les pistons, le sons est très différent (nasillard) personnellement j'adore la trompette piccolo et je suis bien à l'aise, sinon on appelle aussi la trompette baroque ou trompette dite naturel.
sinon à titre perso, c'est trop technique et pas assez musicale (très performant, toujours la performance, mes poils se lèvent à l'écoute de Maurice André, (mais pas là !!!pour moi/for me)
Merci sinon du travail
