Tine Thing Helseth Tenthing B - She Composes Like A Man [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Good music is good music no matter what, but a little extra girl power never hurts. In observance of the story of Ethel Smyth and the critic who praised Smyth for 'composing like a man', tenThing knew that this had to be the title of their new album, released on the LAWO Classics label. It's both wonderfully provocative and something to bring a wry smile to the face. From Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn to Florence Price and Ethel Smyth, this programme celebrates the work of female composers from around the world in world premiere transcriptions for the brass ensemble.rr

Tine says 'When I was growing up, it was entirely normal for girls to play both trombone and tuba, and for me playing trumpet felt like the most natural thing in the world. However, in the professional music world this was not necessarily the case. In many countries, there is still a long way to go in terms of gender equality in the brass world. It feels incredibly good to play with the other musicians in tenThing. We trust each other. Without a doubt, trust and security are some of the things I value most when making music with others, and this applies to life in general. She composes like a man is a project that means a lot to me. It means a lot to us.'

'There's not a dud track here. It's difficult not to grin on hearing Grazyna Bacewicz's high-octane 'Mazovian Dance', here featuring some spectacular tonguing on low brass, and the oddly-named 'Rissolty Rossolty' by Ruth Crawford Seeger builds to an exuberant, clangourous climax, sounding here more like 30 players than ten. [x85] Entertaining and educational in equal measure: this is a terrific disc.' x96 The Arts Desk

rr

'this album from Tine Thing Helseth's all-female brass ensemble blazes a trail...And how joyfully it blazes too, in this colourful program of short works by women, arranged by Jarle Storlokken and (in one instance) Sebastian Haukas, and played with a gorgeous blend and sense of enjoyment throughout' x96 Limelight
