– Trygve Madsen is not only a good composer, but he is a ‘natural’ born Brass-composer. [Ifor James / Professor of Music – Freiburg in Br]

– Trygve Madsen’s beautiful melodic structures and brilliant instrumental techniques are characteristic for his compositions. His various pieces for brass-instruments have already become standard repertoire and especially his Tuba-sonata is so popular, that it is played by most tubaists all over the world. [Michael Lind / Tubaist in Stocholm’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra]
