Beauty and the Beat is a live collaboration between Tarja Turunen and Mike Terrana.[1]
The track listing consists of a mix of classical pieces, covers of both Queen and Led Zeppelin, songs by Tarja's previous band Nightwish, and her own songs.
On 23 April 2014, earMUSIC released a teaser trailer and the official trailer came out on 9 May.
Background[]
The idea was conceived by Turunen, who had worked with Terrana on several projects in the past, including her first live recording, Act I: Live in Rosario. On her website, she states: "Our main goal with these kinds of concerts is that younger audiences experience the beauty and power of a symphonic orchestra and choir."[1] Terrana's explanatory comment was, "It's obvious that I provide the BEAT and Tarja provides the BEAUTY."[1]
