About

"Caprice" consists of transcriptions of well-known classics especially written for - and in many cases by - Alison herself. One of Alison Balsom’s musical ambitions is to widen the repertoire for her instrument, following in the footsteps of the great trumpet legend Maurice Andre.

The new album showcases her beautifully pure trumpet sound, and includes popular favourites such as Handel’s Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, Bellini’s Casta Diva, Mozart’s Queen of the Night aria, as well as sexy and edgy arrangements of works by Piazzola and de Falla.

Alison won the Young British Classical Performer Award at the 2006 Classical Brits, where she performed both at the launch and the televised awards ceremony and stole the hearts of the British public.
Gramophone described her previous Bach album as “splendid stuff” and said the pieces “showcase Balsom’s phenomenal technique and gleaming expressiveness”.
