Tine Thing Helseth, Kåre Nordstoga - Magical Memories for Trumpet and Organ (2021)

Posted By: ArlegZ

Date: Jan. 30, 2022

Trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth's album of Magical Memories was recorded during the coronavirus pandemic and intended as a positive statement, suggesting childhood memories that bring strength at a difficult time. The memories are Helseth's own; she heard her mother play the trumpet with an organist in church and loved the combination. It's a simple and direct concept, but it conceals several challenges that Helseth has successfully surmounted on this lovely release. First of all, in Helseth's own words, "There is nothing as difficult to play as a really simple melody – a simple, unadorned, honest melody coming from within. It's magic!" She offers traditional Norwegian folk melodies and classical favorites, and she's right; to make these more than ordinary is difficult, but she pulls it off with really charismatic performances of the likes of "Solveig's Lullaby" from Grieg's Peer Gynt. Further, although the trumpet-and-organ pair is native to Baroque music, it is novel in Helseth's transcriptions, mostly her own or those of organist Kåre Nordstoga, and these contain a good deal of artistry in making them fit into the context here. The album weaves a spell, and one may also note the distinctive Scandinavian graphics from the Lawo Classics label. Various trumpeters have contended for the space of successor to the famous trumpeters of the late 20th century, but with this modest release, Helseth takes a big step toward filling it.
