Yes, she is beautiful and sounds like the original member Tarja, no?

I enjoy these songs, that like a river, take you somewhere else.

Thank you Buusra and Ellethwyn,
There is so much heavy metal in Finland, that I am starting to get a bit allergic to it due to overexposure.
But who can resist cellos

She is superb, but in this song I prefer more fullness in the low register. It is a matter of taste of course.

If these recordings sound familiar there is a good reason. Old fashion music all over the world
sung by Finnish singers.

Hadn’t heard those songs since, like forever.
Did listen to Hortto Kaalo since I had their CD (wherever that is now).

Who cares? It is beautiful and I find it very touching as well. And as a melancholic person myself I find this music even more dear and close to me.
