About This Song
About "Vivaldi: L'estro armonico, Op. 3: Violin Concerto No. 9 in D Major, RV 230: II. Larghetto (Transcr. for Piccolo Trumpet and Baroqu" by Alison Balsom
The Larghetto is a held breath—Balsom’s trumpet floats above a muted string bed, each note a droplet on still water. Vivaldi’s tenderness is rendered with cool precision, yet a faint melancholy seeps through the baroque ornamentation. Calm surface, quietly breaking heart.
