I bought “Black Symphony” as a graduation present to myself when I graduated from Ohio State. Still one of the best concert DVDs I’ve seen.

What a duet. And Sharon wasn't even feeling well that day! 🤘🏻🖤

Beautiful singers from the Netherlands ❤🇳🇱 The lady in black is Anneke van Giersbergen, the mother/Matriarch of the Metal music in the Netherlands. Nowadays she's has her band VUUR

Anneke is a regular in Ayreon. She did the Egyptian in the opera Into the Electric Castle. She sings The Girl in Magnetism (from The Theory of Everything) where she sings with Tommy Karevik and Marko Hietala. Also she is a gifted Lady Troubadour where she plays guitar and sings her own songs (and some borrowed) and travels the smaller venues. This is quite an old recording, where her hair is dark.

Tomakazi and Crissy have seen Anneke van Giersbergen(solo, ex- The Gathering, Vuur, The Gentle Storm) before. In Ayreon , Valley of the Queens. She had blonde hair in that, and was between Floor and Marcela Bovio. And in The Storm by The Gentle Storm(red hair in that). This song is from the 3rd album, The Silent Force in 2004.The entire Black Symphony concert (with Metropole orchestra and a choir) is awesome. Try, Ice Queen, Mother Earth , and Our Solemn Hour from this show.

🇫🇮❤ OK, this was Anneke van Giersbergen with Within Temptation & their front woman Sharon den Adel (white dress) in one of the best female duets ever. P.S. If my memory serves, there was a comment for the original video by a professional sound technician about Sharon using a totally wrong capsule in her microphone, which made it very difficult to mix her vocals properly. Anneke in turn had the perfect capsule for her microphone as a true professional should.

What a duet! Amazing!

The entire show this was taken from is epic.

Also listen to their song: "Our Solemn Hour" live at this same concert.

Good morning souls, just a tip; write a letter to all music stations in the US and ask them to broadcast this kind of music instead of there daily crap music year in year out. There is more than only American music as you can see/hear. Greeting from the Netherlands. Carry on!

Best duet ever!!❤

Awesome performance from Sharon and Anneke. The Black Symphony was a brilliant concert.

Anneke! 🤟

happy b day Tomakazi happy sunday souls

🇬🇧 Norfolk strapped in for two Dutch queens 🫅

Still the best concert i've ever seen, incredible. If you want to see and hear the orchestra, choir and band in full effect you just have to listen to "The Promise" - kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZaN2lNpuXZeaitI.html and/or "The Truth beneath the Rose" - kzread.info/dash/bejne/lYGEs7eypcWfctI.html

Dutch ladies can really sing 🤘🤘

This is such an awsome duet.between 2 beautiful voices. I've seen Sharon live with Within Temptation a couple of times. Did you know that there's also a duet between Sharon and Floor? It's an 'After Forever' song called 'Beyond Me'. kzread.info/dash/bejne/jJ6o3NiGdcfUfps.html Can I throw in one more Nightwish recommendation? As far as I know, you haven't reacted to a song which I consider one of their epic songs and a must-listen. It's called 'Beauty Of The Beast'. It's an old song (2003), so a live video with good sound is hard to find. I prefer this lyric video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/l355rJikk9zZo5c.html Have a listen, it's a great song.

I wonder what is in the Water in the Netherlands that makes so many top singers.

Don’t forget our DJ’s either. 😊

Another good reaction video to a great duet

Another excellent symphonic metal band. At the risk of angering my U-boat Kapitan, I prefer the vocals in this performance to the Simone/Floor song Sancta Terra, although the visuals and metal vibe is better in Sancta Terra. I just like the classic theater vocals over operatic. Both bands do an excellent job integrating the full orchestra. It seems you had an early start, time for a nap. Think I'll join you! Great reaction, stay safe, God Bless, keep rocking.

No problem Alan, I agree with you.

Great song and performance. Another great Dutch band. Sharon den Adel singing is completely self taught!!! I see where you’ve made the mistake, this one Does features Anneke van Giersbergen. Not the previous video from Epica. That’s okay though Flipster you’ve probably had 1 or 2 drinks for Tomakazi’s birthday. 🤣😂😉

Black sympathy. She said it....

Big up for Gandalf 😂😂😂

I didn't know that you had a trained bigfoot as a friend. Just kidding😁😜

Within Temptation planned to tour in the USA with Evanescence (AmyLee), but then COVID made it impossible

No, They toured in the US with Iron Maiden, and in Europe with Evanescence, both last year...

You know it’s funny when you really like a band you attacked to what they look like. I really hate Sharon’s hair in this era.
