From Spirits and Ghosts (Score For a Dark Christmas)

"From Spirits and Ghosts (Score for a Dark Christmas)" is the second classical and Christmas album, and the seventh studio album released by the Finnish soprano Tarja Turunen, released 17 November 2017 on the earMUSIC label. The album includes 11 Christmas classics and brings them to a never before seen level, uniquely blending Tarja“s classically trained voice with darker gothic influences. Utilizing the sound of a grand orchestra, the most successful Finnish solo artist puts a sinister spin on traditional songs like “O Tannenbaum”, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” and “Feliz Navidad”, reminding the listener of a dark movie score. Besides covering classic carols, “From Spirits and Ghosts” also features a 12th track, the brand new original “Together”. This song is aligned with the dark sound of the album and embodies the theme of ghosts and mysticism throughout, in a brilliant, Tarja-styled manner.
