Tarja Turunen & Mike Terrana 'Witch-Hunt' from 'Beauty & The Beat'

Описание:

Tarja Turunen & Mike Terrana’s "Beauty & The Beat" is a unique concert that blends classical pieces with rock songs, performed with an orchestra and choir. Originally a one‑time event in 2011, the show was revived in 2013 and toured worldwide, from Poland to Russia to Mexico. The performance showcases Tarja’s crystal‑clear voice and Mike’s energetic drums, aiming to introduce younger audiences to the beauty and power of symphonic music. Tarja explains: "The idea of having a symphonic orchestra, choir and Mr. Terrana on drums was originally mine. I immediately imagined it performed live on a stage with a real orchestra as part of a bigger concept. I believe this kind of combination of instruments, particularly playing mainly classical music, is very unique. I have been making collaborations with orchestras before and I could foresee a great outcome. Our main goal with these kind of concerts is that the younger audience experiences the beauty and power of a symphonic orchestra and choir. Hopefully it will serve as an introduction to classical music for some of our fans." Mike adds jokingly: "It's obvious that I provide the BEAT & Tarja provides the BEAUTY." The album will be released on May 30, 2014 as 2CD, DVD, Blu‑ray, and download.
