Various Artists - Magical Memories - Music & Performance - CD

Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth releases her new album Magical Memories. The recording is deeply personal; made up of Helseth's favorite pieces which explore the full sound, range, and moods of the instrument. It includesmusic she remembers hearing during her childhood such as Lindberg's Gammal Fäbodpsalm från Dalarna and Purcell's Trumpet Tune in C major as well as modern songs for special occasions such as Sjöberg's Den första gång jag såg dig - a Swedish love song translated as The First Time I Saw You. Composers include Marcello, Telemann, Grieg, Moraeus, Lindberg, Sommerro and many more. Tine Thing Helseth says: "This is a very personal album to me. Whilst I was growing up my mother also played the trumpet, and many of these pieces are works that I listened to laying on the floor next to the organ whilst she was at rehearsals. She took me from when I was 6 weeks old! Other tracks are just lovely melodies and songs that people often use on special occasions: happy or sad. So, the album is filled with my musical memories and my hope is that it will bring musical memories to the listeners as well."
