About "Albinoni: Oboe Concerto in D Minor, Op. 9 No. 2: I. Allegro e non presto (Transcr. for Piccolo Trumpet and Baroque Orchestra by Si" by Alison Balsom

Albinoni's oboe concerto, reimagined for piccolo trumpet, opens with a dignified allegro e non presto. Balsom brings a vocal, almost human quality to the line, floating above a warm, walking bass. The mood is stately yet intimateβ€”a processional for a private ceremony, poised between solemnity and grace.
