Description:

Alison Balsom has waited until now to record a work which, as she says, evokes â??a true melancholy that only a certain style of trumpet-playing can achieve.â? It is Aaron Copland's Quiet City, first performed in 1941 in its version for trumpet, cor anglais and strings. Copland saw it as both nostalgic and expressive of â??a society profoundly aware of its own insecurityâ?. Around Quiet City, she has built an album that explores the convergence of classical music and jazz in 20th century America. It includes a new arrangement of Gershwinâ??s Rhapsody in Blue and music by Leonard Bernstein, Charles Ives, Kurt Weill (who emigrated to America in the 1930s) and â?? maybe surprisingly â?? the Spanish composer JoaquÃn Rodrigo. The link here is legendary jazz trumpeter Miles Davis: Alison Balsom plays an arrangement of the famous slow movement of Rodrigoâ??s Concierto de Aranjuez that was made for Davis by another great jazzman, pianist Gil Evans. â??This album has been an utter joy to make,â? says Alison Balsom. â??I loved every minute of the sessions with the brilliant Britten Sinfonia, conductor Scott Stroman, oboist and cor anglais player Nicholas Daniel and my great friend and collaborator, pianist Tom Poster ... Iâ??m so proud of this project and canâ??t wait to share it.â? - BRITTEN SINFONIA/SCOTT STROMAN
