TARJA__O MIO BABBINO CARO (Puccini) - Beauty & the Beat - Tarja Turunen & Mike Terrana

[@barryfrazer4304]

As a big Puccini fan, and Metal by the way, I think this is breathtaking! Tarja is the ultimate crossover. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.

[@StarOfArtemis]

right!? she's incredible.

[@elainecristinaneri7422]

Who besides me thinks Puccini would be not only impressed, but proud of Tarja Turunen?

[@Aenygma_]

It's the first time I hear her voice without metal music hahaha. I figured she could sing marvellously in an actual opera, but I was still blown away. Amazing singer.

[@huhuhuhurricanestreamwow7937]

She unfortunately can't. She said she's unable to carry a full opera by herself because she's not specialized in that area. Even though I think that she's one of the classically trained singers that brought arias and old music back to people's reality.

That''s all ☮☮💘💘

Same here !!!!!

Same! I never really appreciated opera until I followed her here from Nightwish. Man, what a transition. Hearing her in NW though in songs like Sleeping Sun and Swanheart, I wasn't really surprised, she's right at home in this genre.

I suppose that is the real win in the end. She always says classic music is her first love.

[@annamariachasta]

This woman is the very reason I fell deeply in love with opera. Have been following her since the early Nightwish days. I myself sing without any background and am planning to train myself in classical singing because it comes naturally to me. At this point I just need to say that although the trained ones state she is not a full-fledged classical singer (according to the standards), I have NEVER.. EVER heard this color in a voice of a soprano. NEVER. To me, this is (if not THE) one of the greatest voice colors on earth. In the end color and emotion impact more than technique. I ADMIRE her.

@The Scalla Yes, I am not familiar with the majority of soprano talent out there, for sure. I just wanted to stress out that it is not reaally common to find a soprano with such a full voice. It is mostly "hitting notes with extreme accuracy, but high and thin pitch". I guess you get the idea. But most probably Tarja is not the only one, yes. But she IS rare, indeed!! 😁

@@shspurs1342 She is certainly a professionally certified and recognized classical singer, due to her extensive formal training. But technically she's not an opera singer and never was, according to her. She would require different training to be an actual opera singer, but she has chosen to go a different path. But no doubt she would excel if she chose to go that path.

[@xyo1337]

@@ericcoyle3520 I didn't say you couldn't have an opinion. I questioned your opinion - there's a difference. You don't need to be offended by that :). Floor isn't classical and has stated she isn't classical or classically trained. Nightwish has lost its magic ingredient, ironically around the same time they lost Tarja.

[@MrRoziuke]

@@ericcoyle3520 What do you mean by saying "better range" ? The range cannot be better or worse ,"vocal range" is simply the span from the lowest to the highest note a particular voice can produce , and I'm afraid Tarja's range is slightly wider than Floor's :)

[@ericcoyle3520]

@@MrRoziuke Sorry, I don't think I was being clear. I wasn't talking about that sort of vocal range. What I meant was that Floor has an ability to switch styles of singing from Opera to rock to pop, whereas a lot of operatic singers sing pop but have to make it an operatic version. If you watch "Best Zangers" you see that, whilst the other singers are really good, Floor can pretty much sing anything in any style. The other singers just don't do that. I think that is pretty impressive.

I'd listen to l'amour est un oiseau rebelle, and I 'm sure that now she can perform it so well than this piece in becoming the rebel Carmencita for a few moment. The performance where nice, but not like Mio bambino Caro. I though that she climbed higher than she did at the end of the song. OK, I' m unable to perform Carmen before several months of hard work, but I know the Carmencita since my childhood. I'd listen to Carmen on good old 33t record in my grandparents home, on their electrophone I was just 6-7, My solfege teacher made learn to my class the kids 's choir once a year(while one month about). Later I'd listen it on cassette, performed by Julia Migenes and Placido Domingo for myself, later again, at school, in musical education school program, I studied the oeuvre and been watch it at the Arts's theater at Rouen, with the school, as I watched the film also with the school where I was.

It does not really matter, does she sing it best or not. I guess she understand that only in her interpretation most of her fans would listen to such music for the first time, so she tries it.
