"Among the spiciest dips on Saturday was the glamorous Alison Balsom playing Haydn's Trumpet Concerto with a beguiling soft-edged sound, then dazzling in Piazzolla's Libertango."
- Richard Morrison, The Times, 13 September 2009

"(...) The artistry of Alison Balsom was celebrated, too. She looked like a model who'd just been handed a trumpet for some kinky fashion shoot but played Haydn, Piazzolla, and Gershwin with knowing style and great finesse."
- Edward Seckerson, The Independent, 13 September 2009

"Haydn's in 1809 was marked by his Trumpet Concerto, radiantly played by Alison Balsom."
