Best Of: Living the Dream

Solid Listen And Watch an epic collection of hits misses and videos and live footage i consider myself satisfied thank you

Been a Nightwish fan through all their vocalists, besides her first solo cd and her xmas cd I never got around to getting Tarjas solo cds....with this set I feel that is now....covered....The limited set is very nice in a digibook and has 2 cds and a bluray and the price is excellent for all you get. One thing that proved complicated at first was figuring out how to snap the 2 cds in securely as they are held on in a way I hadn't seen before...evidently the manufacturer couldn't figure it out either as one was loose with a small scuff when I opened it...plays fine though and Amazon compensated for it...so all good. This is the collection to get IMO as the songs Tarja picked as her best to include her are all good and I guess I'm glad I waited as I have heard some of her solo work was...iffy...and there are no songs on this collection that are that....Recommend.

Beautiful Work From Tarja 😍

Overall a great product. The CDs came loose and God knows what it's been through. The Bluray was advertised as High Definition for all her music videos, but it doesn't seemed to be the case. The live portion I haven't seen yet. But the booklet inside is beautiful and with a little background history of each song wrote by Tarja herself. I'm very pleased!!

Though its reprints and her best Songs from over career. It's a win win for the money. To have them all in one collection.The video disc is Blueray. I would have preferred it to be DVD. (In this USA region)

The sound is phenomenal! Tarja is Phenomenal! So Good after all these years she is a master of the female lead vocals as well an operatic singer!

This was outstanding and the blu ray concert was great. You won't be disappointed.

The Best album for Tarja, I love it !! 🖤✨️🖤

Amazon delivered my pre-ordered copy earlier than the specified date, so, nice one Amazon! Ordered on the basis of the product description, there are one or two surprises.Firstly, although this is indeed a 3 disc package, it’s presented as a Mediabook, which contains 2 CDs and a Blu-ray. As of writing, there’s still no mention of that in the description. Depending on your viewpoint that’s either a bonus or a disappointment. Also, the Blu-ray, In addition to a concert filmed in 2020 in Bucharest, Romania, also features an extensive number of video clips – 16 in all. The Blu-ray is in Region Codes A, B & C – so it’s playable in all countries, and is in 16.9 ratio with sound presented in PCM Stereo & DTS HD Surround.The full contents (inclusive of the video clips missing from the product description) are as follows:CD1: 1. Eye of the Storm 2. I Walk Alone (Single Version) 3. Die Alive (Alternative Version) 4. Awake 5. Falling Awake feat. Jason Hook 6. Until My Last Breath (Single Version) 7.

You & I (Lyric Video).There’s a sticker on the front of my copy stating:“For the first time the greatest songs from her solo career, handpicked by Tarja”.We can only assume by the statements “For the first time” and “handpicked by Tarja” that she had no hand in the track selection of the 2 disc Digipak by the same name, issued in 2016 by Ear Music - although it’s a fine selection if you can find it.Although there’s no listing for the 2016 package on the UK site, it was however, formally listed on Amazon’s sister companies in America (.com), Canada (.ca), France (.fr) and Germany (.de) and although currently unavailable, there’s always the hope that someone will use the listing to sell a used copy - indeed, mine was sourced from Canada.For those fans who were previously unaware of the Digipaks’ existence and would like to compare it with Living the Dream (or determine if it’s something they might want to track down - it’s sufficiently different to make it worth your while), as there is no listing at all for this item on the UK site, here are the track listings for you.(Something worth salivating over is the inclusion of Tarja’s duet with Within Temptation on Paradise (What About Us?) – check out the superb video on YouTube).The 33 tracks are as follows:CD1: 1. Innocence 2. Paradise (What About Us?) 3. Victim of Ritual 4. Until My Last Breath 5. I Walk Alone 6. Falling Awake 7. No Bitter End 8. Shameless 9. Never Enough 10. Die Alive 11. Underneath 12. 500 Letters 13. Enough 14. Dark Star. 15. Love to Hate 16. The Seer (Feat. Doro Pesch) 17. I Feel ImmortalCD2: 1. Your Heaven and Your Hell (Feat. Michael Monroe) 2. Demons in You (Feat. Alissa White-Gluz) 3. Neverlight 4. We Are 5. Ciaran’s Well 6. Undertaker 7. The Good Die Young (Feat. The Scorpions) 8. Poison 9. Supremacy 10. Little Lies 11. Lost Northern Star 12. In for a Kill 13. Eagle Eye (Feat. Toni Turunen) 14. Damned Vampire & Gothic Divine 15. The Crying Moon 16. MedusaIt’s worthy to reiterate that sometimes other countries issue CD packages that for one reason or another fail to be picked up by the UK site. I have personal experience of both Canada and Germany doing this, with a number of albums by a band called Saga that had releases exclusive to Germany and managed to secure a rare release by Within Temptation in this way too. It’s worth occasionally checking out the sister companies from time to time - like panning for gold, it can be worth the search.

Un grande concerto in un ambiente splendido, comprimari eccellenti, due CD audio allegati e un bel box, qualità audio video elevata.Tarja forse un po kitsch nell' abbigliamento e anche il tono stesso del concerto ...decisamente sopra le righe, però evidentemente pensa di poterselo permettere e va per la sua strada.Onestamente preferisco le canzoni di act 1 e avrei voluto sentirne alcune in più.Promosso comunque a pieni voti.

Zuerst muss ich sagen: Wenn ich höre: "Best Of", dann denke ich gleich: Ok, kenn ich schon alles. Aber Tarja wäre nicht Tarja, wenn sie auf ihrer Best Of - Cd nicht mit neuen Variationen ihrer Songs um die Ecke kommen würde. Tarja wird nie langweilig oder eintönig. Und sie legt gleich noch nebenbei ein Live-Konzert und mehrere Promotional Videos hinzu! Du bestätigst mir andauernd aufs Neue, warum du als Sängerin für mich konkurrenzlos bist und immer bleiben wirst :) Ich hab keine Ahnung, was dich übertreffen kann ???Ich liebe dich und deine wunderbare Stimme!Danke, Tarja! Selbst, wenn alle Songs so klingen würden, wie auf den heißgeliebten Alben, dann wäre das noch ne super Auslese! Aber du übertriffst mal wieder die Erwartungen mit anderen/neuen Variationen! Ich bin kein Freund von Best-Of-CDs, aber genau so eine Äußerung habe ich von nem anderen Käufer gelesen. Dass du andere Varianten der Klassiker auf diese CD's gepackt hast. Und auch mindestens EIN Lied, das sonst nicht zu kriegen ist.Kurz und gut: Ich kann und will nur Werbung für ihre Best-of-CD machen! Es lohnt sich! Wie gesagt: Best-of-CD's: da denkt man direkt: "Kenn ich doch alles als Fan... gähn.."Nicht bei Tarja :) Sie lässt ihre Hörer und Zuschauer nie im Stich! Kann nur voller Lob von ihr und ihrer Musik reden! Love you, Tarja!!!

Excelente edición, todos los éxitos de esta gran cantante, el bluray es genial. Amazon entregando antes de tiempo y a un super precio, 400 pesos mexicanos: 2 cds y un bluray.

Gute Bild- und Tonqualität. Wer Tarjas Musik mag sollte sich diese Bluray gönnen.Dieses Konzert ist mit Klassik-Elementen gemischt. Ich finde sehr gelungen
