Alison Balsom Plays Haydn

It is difficult to make a career as a trumpet soloist but the young British virtuoso Alison Balsom is managing to make a go of it. She is a fabulous player but in addition she is blonde, beautiful and a charismatic performer. As they say, she is the complete package. Here she is playing the last movement from Haydn's Trumpet Concerto with Vasily Petrenko conducting the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.
