Alison Balsom signs new five-album deal with Warner
Classics
Partnership to continue with an exploration of the meeting points
between classical and jazz
Alison Balsom has signed a new five-album deal with Warner Classics, continuing a
relationship that has already spanned 20 years since the trumpeter first worked with
what was at the time EMI Classics.
The first album under the new partnership, due out in August, will be called Quiet
City, taking its title from the 1939 Copland work Balsom performed in the Brass Final
of BBC Young Musician Competition in 1998. The programme will feature 20th
century American music composed in the era which saw the huge growth of jazz,
and explore the meeting point of these two styles.
