Ex-NIGHTWISH Singer Planning Third NOCHE ESCANDINAVA Tour

November 4, 2006

According to a posting on former NIGHTWISH singer Tarja Turunen's official web site, tentative plans exist for the vocalist to embark on a third tour with her classical lineup of Noche Escandinava. Dubbed Noche Escandinava III, the trek will take place sometime between 2008 and 2009.

As previously reported, a video interview (in Finnish, with English subtitles) with former NIGHTWISH vocalist Tarja Turunen about her upcoming Christmas album, "Henkäys Ikuisuudesta" (Breath from Heaven),can be viewed at this location.

"Henkäys Ikuisuudesta", which includes selections from JOHN LENNON and ABBA, will arrive on November 8. A single, entitled "You Would Have Loved This", was released on October 25.

"You Would Have Loved This" was written by Cori Connors who has also composed for the legendary Linda Ronstadt. The single contains two songs: "You Would Have Loved This" and "Walking in the Air" by Howard Blake. These versions are only available on this single as the album versions of "You Would Have Loved This" and "Walking in the Air" are different.

Commented Tarja: "I found the song 'You Would Have Loved This' from America. The story in the lyrics fits perfectly in this album. It's about the loss of a dear one. With this in mind we did an even more intimate version for album than for the single. It has very touching and beautiful melody."
