- Mr Turunen is an exceptional classical singer and you are following an agenda. You say you dont like the performance yet you keep visiting this page and posting inflammatory remarks.

- I sang classical 11 years and at least i've gained a trained ear. My ear tells me Tarja one of the best voices in any musical area today.

- Any freeware software today can post process and split any sound channel. I can make the cello sound like Bugs Bunny if I want to without touching the others.

@itapirkanmaa

The difference between people who know music and people like you is that they can make a difference.

You went inflammatory too early and I had not the chance to explain your problem, musically.

It's simple: you listen classical not by pleasure but to fuel a frustrated part of your subconscius.

Because you can't understand it properly, anything that does not sound identically whith what you are used to, sounds bad.

Its common and happens also for metalheads, rockers, opera people..

Heya, here are 2 performances for comparison on Song to the Moon

Here is Matilla /watch?v=MwuNqcKUxto

and here is Netrebko /watch?v=MwuNqcKUxto

Imho she is at least as good in technique and superior overall.

The only plus they have is a little more flow and better pronunciation , having performed this aria hundreds of times.

Tarja is not even knowing the piece by hard, if you watch the video I posted she keeps scanning and searching in the partiture :)

@KuopioKallavesi

Anyway, this recording is of a very poor quality and her voice is not captured well.

Here are ones with a better quality, her first performance of Carmen and Rusalka

/watch?v=3chWYFE1YoE

Again adds some subtle things of her own, but It's obvious that she has one of the best voices around.

[MrNakhrul]

@KuopioKallavesi

-> she did not have "some training", she is studying clasical since over 25 years and followed 2 conservatories.

--

Strictly as voice quality and timbre she surpasses everyone. Even my point of reference, Maria Callas.

She does not use a technique identical to the one used in opera.. because she does not sing opera.

A performer should adapt his style to the piece performed, not the other way around.

Tarja uses techniques from classical music, blues, rock etc

[MrNakhrul]

@KuopioKallavesi

Yes and as I have stated I am listening opera since many years.

Also as I have stated, there are people like you that listen to her and have all kinds of expectations.

The vibrato should be faster; no, slower ; voice should be softer; no, should be stronger; should sing legato; no, should sing staccato; and so on, so on..

--

She interprets perfectly the partiture and uses classical technique, but always in her own style. This is what a true artist should do

@MrNakhrul

How can u even compare Turunen to Karita Mattila ?

Turunen, surely, have had _some_ training in classical music.. but to say that Turunen is one of the best voices in any musical area today is an absurd statement.

U are comparing her to a best what Opera/Classical has to offer ?

i will give anything to that person who has this concert taped and send it to me. i remember one great duet about a pair in love who were living in different islands not able to be together. i will drown into my tears the day i see that again.

[MrNakhrul]

@itapirkanmaa

And yes, if that makes you gay (as in "happy"), I'm off from this page.

Belive it or not i feel remorse for being so aggressive, but you deserve it.

Have a nice life or whatever!

Here, let me help you with the definition of teaching: "the act or profession of a person who teaches; to impart knowledge or skill; give instruction".

You are not getting anything right today, take your medicine and get some sleep.

[MrNakhrul]

@itapirkanmaa

When did I said that, schyzo? I said it's buried HERE among dozens of your flames. here's one from this page :"After the graduation at the Music Academy in Karlsruhe, in January 2004, Tarja had further minitour Noche Escandinava ...".

Are you sure you're not wearing a white shirt at the moment? One with longs sleeves, that is.
