About This Song
About "Handel: Concerto grosso in D Major, HWV 323: III. Presto (Transcr. for Piccolo Trumpet and Baroque Orchestra by Simon Wright)" by Alison Balsom
Presto: a whirlwind of gleaming brass and scampering strings. Balsom's piccolo trumpet spins through Handel's figurations with acrobatic ease, the ensemble matching her step for step. The mood is breathless, almost giddy—a chase scene rendered in eighteenth-century finery, all sparkle and forward drive.
