About "Vivaldi: La stravaganza, Op. 4: Violin Concerto No. 6 in G Minor, RV 316a: II. Largo (Transcr. for Piccolo Trumpet and Baroque Orc" by Alison Balsom

The largo is a hushed, minor-key meditation. Balsom's trumpet becomes a solitary voice in a dim chapel, each sustained note a prayer. The orchestra offers sparse, aching support. It's music of profound stillness, where grief and beauty intertwineβ€”a held breath before the final outburst.
