A sublime classical Christmas album from Tine Thing Helseth<\/p>\n
22-year old trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth performs as soloist in front of the best orchestras of Europe on a full time basis. Her highly successful debut recording with the classic trumpet concertos is followed now by another beautiful album. With her trademark of exquisite colour and phrasing Tine gives heart-moving readings of her favourite Christmas music in classic arrangements for chamber orchestra. And she even adds on a new composition of her own!<\/p>\n
In Tine\u2019s own words: \u201cThe Christmas songs and chorals have such simple melodic lines, making it possible to express wide emotional spectrum. The arching of simple beautiful melodies is one of my greatest pleasures as a soloist, because it demands such attention to detail.\u201d<\/p>\n
Again she teams up with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, lead by Elise B\u00e5tnes. Isa Katharina Gericke joins in for thrilling versions of Handle\u2019s two showpieces for soprano, trumpet and orchestra, plus the archaic I know a Castle in Heavens High. And among the all time classics of Bach\/Gounod, Holst, Reger and others, Tine also presents a beautiful piece she has written herself: Angels dance.<\/p>\n

22 year old Tine Thing Helseth performs as soloist in front of the best orchestras of Europe on a full time basis. Her highly successful debut recording last year with the classic trumpet concertos is followed now by a beautiful album where Tine performs the most wonderful Christmas music she knows in classic arrangements. And she even adds on a composition of her own!<\/p>\n
The idea for this release relates back to Tine\u2019s very first public performance as a trumpet soloist. Only 10 years old she stepped in for her mother at a local church concert, performing O Holy Night. And her fascination for this repertoire has grown over the years. In Tine\u2019s own words: \u201cThe Christmas songs and chorals have such simple melodic lines, making it possible to express wide emotional spectrum. The arching of simple beautiful melodies is one of my greatest pleasures as a soloist, because it demands such attention to detail.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00abMy Heart is Ever Present\u00bb, is nothing less than Tine\u2019s dream project. Again she teams up with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, lead by Elise B\u00e5tnes. Isa Katharina Gericke joins in for thrilling versions of Handle\u2019s two showpieces for soprano, trumpet and orchestra, plus the archaic I know a Castle in Heavens High. And among the all time classics of Bach\/Gounod, Holst, Reger and others, Tine also presents a beautiful piece she has written herself: Angels dance.<\/p>\n
Where other trumpeters seem to be rated as more or less successful athletes, Tine Thing Helseth (1987) really puts the music first. Her stunning timbre and articulation \u2013 the sheer musicality of Tine \u2013 reaches the listener immediately. Since her breakthrough in 2006 with the Eurovision Young Musician Finale, her development has just continued. In 2009 she was made a Borletti-Buitoni Fellow, and her diary is filled with concert dates all over the world through 2010.<\/p>\n
