TARJA TURUNEN: Performs Own Version of "Ave Maria", Video Available

Tarja Turunen has performed, among other songs, an own version of "Ave Maria" during her Christmas Tour in Finland this December. Watch a video from Joensuu below.

Other songs, such "Varpunen Jouluaamuna" or "You Would Have Loved This" from the same concert are available here, and a performance of "Jouluyö, Juhlayö" ("Silent Night, Holy Night"), from the concert in Lappeenranta, can be watched here.

Tarja Turunen has set "What Lies Beneath" as the working title of her new solo CD, tentatively due in early 2010. She says, "With [2007's] 'My Winter Storm', I chose the name of the album in the early stages and that helped me to create the concept for the album. With the new album, I decided to do it the same way, so I searched for an inspiring title and all the songs are one way or another related to it."
