Four of these were recorded in May 1998 into the demo-tape “Legend in opera”, that received good reviews and approval from the specialized press…

It was this idea that struck Finnish singer Tarja Turunen as she began work on her seventh solo album, “In The Raw”. “Gold - we think - is something polished and perfect, sophisticated, a luxury, but in its natural state, it’s a raw element”, explains Tarja…
