Over het album

‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’, whose score is the first commissioned by The Royal Ballet for a full-length narrative dance work in 20 years, won over not only London audiences but those in Canada and the US, flocking to its premiere North American season with the National Ballet of Canada in June of 2011. The production was sold out well in advance of its close and ended as the company’s highest-grossing production of all time.

Joby’s score was received with extraordinary relish by both audiences and critics, who praised variously its energy, sophistication, wit, colour, danceability and richness of expression.

“Joby Talbot’s superb score [is] arguably the best new ballet music I have heard in years.” Giannandrea Poesio, The Spectator
