About This Song
About "Piazzolla: Oblivion (Arr. Barker & Balsom for Trumpet and Orchestra)" by Alison Balsom
Oblivion is Piazzolla’s ache of forgetting, and Balsom’s trumpet renders it as a slow, luminous fog. The orchestra breathes beneath her, a soft tide of strings. There’s a profound stillness here, but it’s the stillness of a heart trying not to remember—and failing.
