The Norwegian Chopin<\/p>\n
Only 19 years old, more or less directly from his debut as a concert pianist in his hometown of Trondheim, Thomas D. A. Tellefsen traveled to remote Paris to further his studies in music. As Chopin’s apprentice Thomas evolved both as a composer and a pianist. The two became friends and played a lot together, both in private and in public, including a tour of London. When Chopin died, Tellefsen took over some of his most profiled and well-off students.<\/p>\n
Tellefsen himself was a true virtuoso of the piano \u2013 something the piano parts of his works also verifies. If you put this fact together with the very interesting combination of continental and Norwegian influences that characterizes Tellefsen\u2019s music, pianist Einar Steen-N\u00f8kleberg stands out as the ideal \u2018Tellefsen ambassador\u2019 today. His international success with recordings of the complete works of Grieg, S\u00e6verud and Halfdan Kjerulf (Simax 2001 PSC 1225) is really outstanding. On this recording he is joined by violinist Atle Sponberg and cellist \u00d8ystein Birkeland, and together they give the fresh and romantic air of Tellefsen\u2019s music the best presentation possible.<\/p>\n

Only 19 years old, more or less directly from his debut as a concert pianist in his hometown of Trondheim, Thomas D. A. Tellefsen traveled to remote Paris to further his studies in music. Immensely talented, Thomas quickly made his way to the inner circles of this musical metropolis, and in 1844 he was introduced to Fr\u00e9deric Chopin.<\/p>\n
