Post Description

Etterna is the second album from French soprano Emma Shapplin. The album was produced by film composer Graeme Revell and includes collaborations with the London Symphony Orchestra.

Emma Shapplin, neoclassical artist author and composer, started her music career in classical music but then moved to hard rock. When she was 18, singer Jean-Patrick Capdevielle convinced her to return to taking classical lessons so as to improve her singing technique. She discovered that although rock had given her more artistic freedom and hedonistic lifestyle than classical music, it was still not enough for her, so she decided to create her own style. This became a combination of archaic opera and modern trance and/or pop music. Shapplin and Capdevielle subsequently worked together on her first release, Carmine Meo, written by Capdevielle.
