About
In this new recording, Balsom - the 2009 Classical BRIT Artist of the Year - plays popular concertos originally composed for the violin or oboe by Vivaldi, Tartini, Marcello, Albinoni and Cimarosa, accompanied by the Scottish Ensemble.
An unusual career goal for a young girl it may be, yet Alison Balsom aspired to be a trumpet soloist from the age of ten, when her parents took her to a Barbican Centre performance by the great Swedish trumpeter Håkan Hardenberger. She went on to study at the Guildhall School of Music, at the Paris Conservatoire and with Håkan Hardenberger himself. Through BBC Radio 3’s New Generation Artists scheme from 2004 to 2006, she appeared at the Wigmore Hall and with all the BBC Orchestras.
Many honours followed: Best Young British Performer (2006 Classical BRITs); Classic FM Listener’s Award (2006); Rising Artist of the Year (2007 Echo Klassik Awards); first British Female Artist of the Year (2009 Classical BRITs). Balsom had the distinction of performing at the 2009 Last Night of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall.
“The days are long gone when blowing a brass instrument was a male preserve. Even so, the young trumpeter Alison Balsom remains a singular figure. It’s not that she's long and blonde; it's the roar of her talent that makes her stand out, along with her knack for breaking down barriers and making the trumpet so much more than a toot machine.” - The Times
