Alison Balsom - Paris on CD

Description

Alison Balsom brings her glamour, poise and virtuosity to concept album Paris, a selection of music written in and inspired by the most romantic city in the world. "The Parisian concept developed organically the more I looked for music that I loved, that could work in this sound world," explained Balsom. Tracks on the album vary from 20th-century French composers (Satie, Ravel, Messiaen) to jazz (Django Reinhardt) and popular chanson française (Joseph Kosma), in enchanting arrangements for trumpet.
