Artist : Tarja

Album : ‘Luna Park Ride’ + ‘Ave Maria – en Plein Air’

Release Date : 11-09-2015

Added : 31-12-2015

It always makes me laugh to read the chronicles concerned in Tarja (you know the first singer of the group Nightwish). Unclassifiable since she is divided between a career as an lyrical soprano and another as a metal singer... inevitably, metalheads are less sensitive to 'Ave Maria'. As far as I'm concerned, it shows a complete artist who is above all free to choose. This year 2015 sees precisely two completely different albums see the light of day: a live retracing his metal career 'Luna Park Ride' and an opus 'Ave Maria - en Plein Air'... Consequently, a big gap and that's why I I was happy to put these two albums in the same playlist, the release date of September 11 being that of the last opus ('Ave Maria en Plein Air'), the other being released in May 2015. For those who want discover this UFO of the international musical landscape, and so as not to pollute you with necessarily subjective opinions... simply press play to form your own opinion...
