'Beauty & The
Beat' is something very different than your ordinary rock show, let
alone your ordinary classic concert. It's music played in an unorthodox
manner, it's the performance of a wide range of classical pieces and
rock songs together with an orchestra and choir. It strikes you with
awe.
Originally planned as a one-time event the first performance
was already held in 2011, the show was too successful with fans and
critics to simply never happen again. In spring 2013, Tarja Turunenand
& drummer Mike Terranaagain toured throughout the world, from
Poland to Russia to Mexico.
The music of 'Beauty & The Beat'
ranges from immortal classic pieces by Bach, Strauss, and Mozart to
Rossini, but doesn't neglect pure rock music like songs from Led
Zeppelin, Queen as well as Tarja's own pieces. All combined with
orchestra and choir with more than 100 musicians on stage, an enormous
sound, energetic drums and Tarjas angelic voice.
Tarja and Mike
complement each other musically. Whereas Mike bangs his drums with rock
attitude, Tarja shines with her crystal clear voice and incredible
stage presence, all lulled with the warm, full sound of an orchestra. |
