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!A Christmas album might not be what you expect from a young, up-and-coming classical performer. But music related to Christmas holds a very special position in Tine's heart. So she goes against the current; not waiting until her 20th release, but going for what she wants straight away.
The wonderful Christmas tunesThe idea for this release relates back to Tine's 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's own words: "The 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."
Tine's dream project is a sublime classical Christmas album«My Heart is Ever Present», is nothing less than Tine's dream project. Again she teams up with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, lead by Elise Båtnes. Isa Katharina Gericke joins in for thrilling versions of Handle's 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.
TineWhere 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 - the sheer musicality of Tine - reaches the listener iimmediately. 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.
