Virtuoso trumpeter Andrew Balio’s superlative
transcriptions of music by J.S. Bach delight the listener with
both new and familiar sounds.
Bach affirmed that “the aim and final end of all music
should be none other than the glory of God and the
refreshment of the soul.” At the end of his compositions
he wrote Soli Deo Gloria “To God alone, the glory,”
emphasizing his deep faith and devotion.
The trumpet sings, sighs, speaks and prays. Balio and
organist Bruce Bengtson partner in this exceptional album
of the enduring music of J.S. Bach.
Andrew Balio is the principal trumpet of the Baltimore Symphony and the founder of the Future Symphony

“From the Practice Room: Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos” has over 23,000 views (https://youtu.be/s_yrl3mZhvc).
