專輯介紹:
一頭金髮、穿著今年女生們最時(shí)尚的麂皮淺黃短靴、一身簡(jiǎn)約風(fēng)的套裝,看著艾莉森鮑爾珊坐在高腳椅上,和樂(lè)團(tuán)合錄這些協(xié)奏曲的景像,實(shí)在很難對(duì)照整張專輯完成后那些小號(hào)聲就是出自這樣一位年輕時(shí)髦女孩的口中。可以料想,也正是這種視覺(jué)與聽(tīng)覺(jué)上的衝突,挑戰(zhàn)了許多人對(duì)小號(hào)音樂(lè)和美女這兩種意象的傳統(tǒng)觀念,讓鮑爾珊瞬間就在樂(lè)壇竄起。隨著時(shí)代的演進(jìn),我們逐漸習(xí)慣女性鋼琴家、小提琴家、大提琴家出現(xiàn)在我們的聽(tīng)覺(jué)和視覺(jué)習(xí)慣中,但是,還有很多領(lǐng)域還是一直不習(xí)慣有女性從事的,小號(hào)就是這么一個(gè)領(lǐng)域,畢竟,就算是男性,在學(xué)習(xí)小號(hào)時(shí),也總是遭遇許多的挫折:高音吹不上去、肺活量不夠、即使每天拉長(zhǎng)音的練習(xí),聲音還是不夠飽滿、嘴型無(wú)法克服、舌頭無(wú)法做出快速的花舌吹奏等等,也因?yàn)檫@樣,這個(gè)領(lǐng)域一直都還是男性演奏家的天下,雖然有很多女校的銅管樂(lè)團(tuán)出現(xiàn),但是,既有的成見(jiàn),卻要等到鮑爾珊出現(xiàn)后,才真正被打破。今年三十三歲的她,從高中開(kāi)始加入銅管樂(lè)團(tuán),之后一路念到蘇格蘭音樂(lè)院和巴黎音樂(lè)院,二十五歲時(shí)為EMI出了第一張專輯,之后在獨(dú)奏生涯之餘,還一邊擔(dān)任倫敦室內(nèi)樂(lè)團(tuán)的首席小號(hào)手,并從零一年開(kāi)始就擔(dān)任英國(guó)市政廳音樂(lè)與戲劇學(xué)校的小號(hào)教授一職。而且在今年春天,她還升格當(dāng)了媽媽,為英國(guó)指揮家艾德華嘉德納生下一子。
這張義大利巴洛克小號(hào)協(xié)奏曲專輯,是鮑爾珊來(lái)到EMI發(fā)行的第五張個(gè)人專輯,專輯中她選錄的全部都是改編自巴洛克知名協(xié)奏曲的作品,其中包括韋瓦第著名的作品三之中的小提琴協(xié)奏曲、馬徹羅知名的雙簧管協(xié)奏曲、還有三首她自己改編的曲子。改編其他樂(lè)器供小號(hào)吹奏的習(xí)俗是從小號(hào)大師安德烈以來(lái)就有的慣例,畢竟小號(hào)協(xié)奏曲數(shù)量并沒(méi)有那么多,為了有足夠的曲目支撐音樂(lè)會(huì)演出,這樣的改編無(wú)可避免,但是鮑爾珊更大膽的是,她選了相當(dāng)知名的曲目來(lái)改編,說(shuō)這是大膽,因?yàn)檫@很容易招來(lái)比較和批評(píng),但她的才華和吹奏能力,讓她順利避開(kāi)了這樣的比較和批評(píng),這張專輯也因此成為她最具有雅俗共賞吸引力的一張專輯。

'She makes the trumpet sing with an irresistible exuberance and eloquence.' With the human voice a particular inspiration in the music of Italy, the words of The Times have a special resonance for Alison Balsom in these works composed or inspired by Italian composers of the 18th century. This collection provides an apt vehicle for the award-winning trumpeter's characteristic brilliance and grace.
Following the popular and critical international success of her Haydn and Hummel concertos recording, Alison Balsom has recorded a programme of Italian Baroque concertos. The album has quickly garnered critics’ praise: “The fast movements are played with sparkling ease and technical brilliance. The slow movement [Balsom] forms delicately, tenderly, yet without denying she’s playing a brass instrument.” - MDR Figaro
After the release of Caprice in 2006, Gramophone wrote, “It's not often that a young musician appears on the scene abundantly blessed with everything both an A&R and marketing person could dream of, but the young British trumpeter Alison Balsom fulfils just such a dream. She's a musician of prodigious talent with an inquisitive, fresh approach to music-making. She is connected to her public, and rewards their attention with playing of a winning ease and fluency. She has an engaging personality … and the intelligence to take her burgeoning career well in her stride.” 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, B. Marcello, Albinoni and Cimarosa, accompanied by the Scottish Ensemble.
“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
