Tarja Turunen – Act I (2012)

Since leaving Nightwish, Tarja Turunen has accomplished much, not the least of which is several well-received solo albums. Now she embarks on something rather ambitious, a live concert CD/DVD. Act 1 was recorded and filmed in Rosario, Argentina in full high definition using 10 cameras in the beautiful Teatro El Círculo. You can get a taste of the video recording by visiting her website.

Having not received the DVD, I’ll be speaking, briefly, about the audio recording. Having seen the video excerpts, including the video for the previously unreleased Into the Sun, the DVD should be the point of interest, and the CD side pales in comparison.

Nevertheless, the CD recording is well-produced and mixed, putting Ms. Turunen clearly at the front. Tarja’s lyric soprano style and three octave range is truly amazing, and the symphonic metal only propels her forward.
