Music is a mystery for people who play it, write it, listen to it, and write about it. The only thing I can really do when I try to say something about music is assume.

Absolutely Beautiful Trumpet Playing by Tine Thing Helseth
Isn't this the most beautiful playing of the Haydn Trumpet Concerto you have ever heard?
Sure is--her dynamic range and phrasing are really excellent. I Gogled her and found out the CD with this and some other pieces has been released in Norway and will be released internationally next month (Feb. 2008.) Definitely a must have--thanks for posting this clip.
I'm kind of hoping that it is voiced as "Tina Sing Helset," but I guess we'll just have to wait until her name is a household word (or until somebody who knows now posts a comment).
I am active as a composer, a violist, a violinist, a recorder player, a CD reviewer, and as a teacher. I began my professional musical life as a flutist, and spent a lot of quality time as a baroque flutist, but both of those instruments spend their time tucked away in a drawer, while my violin, viola, and my viola d'amore are often tucked under my chin.

I wonder just how her name is pronounced ...

I think it is pronnounced Tine (with an e like in ellen) Thing (like ting) and helseth (also with e like ellen and a t at the end...)
She is amazing!!!!
Tine plays absolutely flawless and marvellous. I guess it takes tons of talent and endless practice to achieve this.
