.. Operatic Arias Transcribed For Trumpet |
 | | Description: | Hailed as â??remarkableâ?? by The Daily Telegraph,
Matilda Lloyd is a young instrumentalist with
exceptional poise and musicality. She studied
music at the University of Cambridge, Royal
Academy of Music, and with HÃ¥kan Hardenberger
at Musikhögskolan i Malmö. She has since
captivated audiences and critics alike with her
artistry, communication, and, in the words of
Saarbrücker Zeitung (March 2020), â??flawless sound
and virtuosic techniqueâ??, with which she brings a
unique flair to every performance. She won the
BBC Young Musician of the Year Brass Final in
2014, and in 2016 made her début at the BBC
Proms.
Casta Diva is Matildaâ??s début album on Chandos,
about which she writes:
â??Every trumpet player has studied the ultimate
technique book, by Jean-Baptiste Arban â?? a
monumental tome affectionately known as â??The
Trumpet Bibleâ??. At the end of the book are sets of
theme and variations â?? my favourite, the
Variations on Belliniâ??s Norma, became the point of
departure for this album inspired by nineteenthcentury Italian opera, as it uses the aria â??Casta
Divaâ??, from Belliniâ??s 1831 opera, as its theme. The
album explores the voice of the trumpet in that
golden age of opera, highlighting works by Rossini,
Bellini, and Donizetti. I hope that the album
showcases the beauty, musicality, and technical
brilliance of the instrument, and that you find as
much enjoyment in listening to, as we did in
arranging and recording, these fantastic pieces of
music! - .. OPERATIC ARIAS TRANSCRIBED FOR TRUMPETHailed as 'remarkable' by The Daily Telegraph, Matilda Lloyd is a young instrumentalist with exceptional poise and musicality.
