Search - Tarja :: Luna Park Ride

Finnish singer TarjaTurunen is one of the most well known heavy metal soprano singers and one of the most important female voices and faces in metal music. No other voice and artist influenced and basically created the female fronted symphonic metal genre as much as Tarja. A pioneer in goth and symphonic metal, the classically trained Finn rose to fame with the band Nightwish, whose face and voice she had been for 9 years. With a vocal range of a lyrical soprano, Tarja started her solo career in 2004. Releasing three very successful metal rock solo albums (2007, 2010, 2013), awarded gold and platinum in multiple countries, Tarja has been constantly touring the world with her live band.

Adored by many fans as their Goddess , the Finnish Soprano has the skill to carry her fans away just by her presence probably more than any other female artist in this genre. When classic meets rock and heavy metal, it inevitably leads to Tarja.

Imagine an enchanted audience in front of an enormous stage in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Thousands of fans screaming just for her: the one and only Tarja. Having their cameras and cell phones ready to film what will become one hell of a performance, Tarja finally appears, dressed fully in black and with the most beautiful smile on her face; she is in full bloom. Let the show begin.

Filmed at Stadium Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina on March 27th, 2011 during Tarja s What Lies Beneath World Tour 2011 , Luna Park Ride was previously only included in a very limited edition of her Top 5 live production Act I . For the first time available on stand alone audio, the fan filmed material is topped with 14 (!) bonus live performances and offers the full package including previously unseen photos. Ranging from Tarja classics like I Walk Alone to Until My Last Breath , the high quality audio mixed by Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam, Robert Plant) also features Nightwish rarities such as Stargazers or the electrifying medley of Where Were You Last Night , Belinda Carlisle s Heaven Is A Place On Earth and Bon Jovi s classic Livin On A Prayer .
