Beauty and the Beat is a live collaboration between Tarja Turunen and Mike Terrana.
The track listing consists in a mix of classical pieces, covers from both Queen and Led Zeppelin, from her past band Nightwish, and Tarja's own songs.
On April 23, earMUSIC released a teaser trailer. earMUSIC finally released the Official Trailer on may 9.
Tarja Turunen explains: “The idea of having a symphonic orchestra, choir and Mr. Terrana on drums was originally mine. Mike has done a recording with drums over classical pieces that I think it is great. I immediately imagined it performed live on a stage with a real orchestra as a 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 Terrana jokingly adds: “It’s obvious that I provide the BEAT & Tarja provides the BEAUTY.”
