Tarja Turunen Announces New Solo Album

07/24/2015
. (Prog) Former Nightwish singer Tarja Turunen will release her debut classical solo album titled Ave Maria - En Plein Air on September 11. Her last studio release was 2013's Colours In The Dark, while the Finnish vocalist issued the live album Luna Park Ride last month.

Now she's turned her attention to Ave Maria - a prayer that has been set to music in over 4000 songs. A statement reads: "Tarja Turunen breathes life into some of the most loved and rare songs of Paolo Tosti, David Popper, Astor Piazzolla, and of course Johann Sebastian Bach/Charles Gounod, among others."

The album was recorded at the Lakeuden Risti Church in Seinajoki, Finland and features organ, cello and harp, while the record closes with Turunen's own take on the traditional prayer. Read more here.
