Trumpet Concertos by Haydn, Albinoni, Neruda & Hummel

��listeners will find in this 20-year old Norwegian a musician who plays with an especially beguiling, sweet and shimmering line, nonchalant technical authority and stylish understatement.� --Gramophone Magazine, March 2008

�- Helseth relishes Haydn?s epoch-making excursions into chromaticism with alacrity, especially in the slow movement, which she shapes with disarming naturalness. A splendid d�but disc. More please!� " --International Record Review

Tine Thing Helseth (trumpet)
Norwegian Chamber Orchestra

The young trumpet virtuoso Tine Thing Helseth came to the attention of audiences and critics when she was awarded 2nd prize in the 2006 Eurovision Young Musicians finale in Vienna. With her debut CD, which includes a stunningly fresh new recording of the ever-popular Haydn concerto as well as terrific performances of works by Albinoni, Hummel and Neruda, she seems destined to take the world of classical music by storm.

Hummel, Dussek & Onslow: Piano Quintets

The Dutch classical music magazine 'Luister' (March 2007) awarded this CD with top marks: 10

"This disc presents major piano quintets of three central European composers: Hummel, Dussek, and Onslow. Their work is situated in the transition period from the Classical to the early Romantic. All three composers made their way up to the courts of Vienna, Paris, or London, and were very successful at the time.

The sound of this recording is quite impressive too; the level of detail is amazing, and the spatial depth is compelling. The engineers at Brilliant know their job very well. This is a very valuable release. Presented with an interesting booklet (with pictures), this disc will be very hard to beat if you�re looking for an original performance of some great music."
