Tarja Turunen - Passion and the Opera

Jakoś tak mnie naszło przy okazji premiery nowej płyty Nightwish, muzyka genialna, Tuomas jak zawsze skomponował wręcz dzieło sztuki, ale cały odbiór jest wypaczony przez tego pokurcza którego teraz nazywają wokalistką, a który przy Królowej nie nadawał by się nawet na technika sprawdzającego mikrofon, i z tej okazji wstawiam urywek koncertu sprzed 4 lat, nie jest to żadne oficjalne wydawnictwo, projekt powstał dzięki pasji i zaangażowaniu samej Tarji, jej ówczesnego zespołu i całej ekipy pracującej z nią. I jak słychać, kawałek pomimo znacznej przeróbki i zupełnie innego składu dzięki niej brzmi 100 razy lepiej na kiepskiej jakości koncercie niż Anetka będzie kiedykolwiek brzmieć w studiu, taka jest smutna prawda o dzisiejszym Nightwish, rozmienili sie na drobne, a gwoździem do trumny jest zatrudnienie kogoś kogo zdolności wokalne są na poziomie mandaryny...

Once my grandmother came into my room having me expecting to hear from her to turn down the music. For my surprise she told me excitedly that this was very very beautiful music that I was listening to. The songs she have heard were The Phantom of the Opera, Ghost Love Score and Creek Mary's Blood - all from the End of an Era concert.

[@snowwhitebeautyful]

I don't know who I love more - Tarja for her fabulous singing or mr. Terrana on the drums. It's so orgasmic!

[@andressacarola1561]

This song was made for her :)

[@carlossilva7530]

This takes us to "back in the day", where it all started for her and NW. I can close my eyes and visualize that first live performance of a very nervous bunch of Finnish kids, with short hair and a lot of talent under their belts. Then I come to reality and think to myself "wow, your voice has matured to perfection"

[@TTTT-hh9lj]

“Voice matured to perfection” How so very very true!!! Tarja voice matured 1-2 years after Nightwish. Makes wonder what the sixth album would have sounded like with Tarja’s voice.

[@pfernandes442]

Great voice,great attitude,great woman,great music,i'm astonishing with that music.

[@ΙωάνναΠάλμου]

I think only manuela kraller after tarja could actually sing this. Tarja is a legend. Very few singers in the world can do this.

[@arturama8581]

You're kidding right? Any operatic soprano can sing this. Maybe listen to some classical opera singers that have much better technique and voice than Tarja? Try Cecilia Bartoli ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ6UhWR4qKdsqMk ) Aida Garifullina ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ6wpXSJfd9oZtU ) or Rachele Gilmore ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXnTZX-Co9F-f8k ). But there are thousands of other sopranos that could do Tarja's songs with ease.

[@ΙωάνναΠάλμου]

@@arturama8581 of course any operatic soprano can sing tarja's songs.Its the dark timbre of her voice and that us fans love about her. I have heard great covers of this song but nothing matches the original.

[@nafisahmohamed4772]

@@arturama8581 Can those other sopranos song Kingslayer, Wishmaster, Planet Hell, Slaying the Dreamer etc? Tarja is not an opera singer. She only applies some of its techniques in her singing. And anyway, soprano is a voice type.

[@nafisahmohamed4772]

@@ΙωάνναΠάλμου I don't think Art Urama knows that Manuella Kraller sings in symphonic metal bands before, Xandria and Haggard. He's thinking purely of opera singers and singing techniques. Maybe he would flinch if I say Beyonce is a mezzo-soprano.

@@ramcatchtherainbow por mas que seas un critico vocal, sin caer en fanatismo, que no lo soy, Tarja es más que una voz, es una artista de otro nivel. trasciende su voz y su tiempo. Por eso Nightwish no fue lo mismo, siguieron siendo buenos, pero no fue lo mismo. saludos.

[@LigeiaNoire]

Tarja is the Siren. We had that established but that ending. Good job guys. I can hear you there Max! I just love this new arrangement it is, somewhat, more progressive and heavier and that famous staccato, she sounds like a warble... effortlessly! And all those talented and amazing musicians, she must have great connections, she has been working with so many artists and performing with so many musicians from all over the world. Really proud of what she has accomplished.

[@Vince_est.97]

The Arrangement is not bad but everybody knows that emppu is a better guitarist like these one his Riff in the Song is amazing and now its gone (but its better to creat a new Version instead of a bad cover like wishmaster all solos in wishmaster are ruined by this guitarist) you see nightwish is more than only a Singer

[@LigeiaNoire]

lolxdrofl1234 Don't get me wrong Emppu is amazingly talented but he is not being used much lately and I really enjoy Alex Scholpp he is really energetic and creative and charismatic, really happy she kept this lineup

[@Vince_est.97]

Yes youre right he is not verry used now days in nightwish but in firetribe and other bands he Shows his skills. Also he Said That the need to show off has dimeshed alot in the age. And you can not say that emppu has no present on Stage he runs the hole show from corner to corner. Futhermore i think he has an more individual Style and a better Technik like tarjas guitarist.

[@LigeiaNoire]

lolxdrofl1234 Oh no! I respect him a lot, never said he wasn't charismatic. He is always the best on stage. And even though he signed that damn letter, he was the only one that had a good relationship with Tarja and eventhough he was against the whole situation he had no power to change it. So yes, I like Emppu a lot. I was just saying that Alex is a very good musician and very charismatic on stage too. She chose well, amazing musicians surrounding her solo career from the beginning.

[@Vince_est.97]

Mh i also heard somethink like this but tarja Said That she only will come back to nw when the whole Management and Band would be changed. Emppu Said That she hab no Contact to tarja in 2006 i think ( via nightmale). Unfortunately i have to Distroy youre Illusion about Alex : ( nearly all of his Songs are verry easy to play ( i think i am Abel to assess that i play guitar since 7 1/2 years). Also he isnt verry creative in Song writing and as a great guitarist like emppu you have to be Abel to play hard songs like wishmaster or the Riff of passion and the Opera flawless ( Alex is not) . Moreover i miss a own Style in his playing.

Tarja demonstrates that she truly is a superb singer. Not sure the room does her justice, when she's talking, it sounds like she's performing in a drained swimming pool. This is the sort of metal my mother will listen to. (I'm oooold, so she's about the same age as most of the grandmothers listening to this.) She likens it to rock-oriented musicals, which she has loved for a long time.
