Finally someone who gives the respect that a tremendous singer like Simone Simons deserves! Thank you very much for your words, here's a fan of Epica! Greetings from Argentina! 😘

This is in the middle of a metal concert, thousands of metalheads, and they loved it. Same Retrospect 2013 10th anniversary concert as the video you watch for "Sancta Terra".
The hymn dates back to the 13th century, but the music for this was written by Pergolesi in the 18th century.
Only 2 songs Floor joined them for here. 22 more from this 3 hour concert, not a bad song among them.(26 tracks, including an intro and outro). Stabat.. was the 8th song(track 9) in the setlist, Sancta Terre was 21st. #22 "Design Your Universe" is one of my favorites from there.

And then, at the end, Simone says: Thanks, little Floor 😅 》Floortje 😅

These Two wonderful Singers, are without any doubt in my mind, and in my own opinion, are the best two singers in the world, at what they do. Lady I loved Your Review. Thank You

[tomlyons]

Highly recommend "All That Was", a gorgeous duet with Floor and Simone from the Ayreon album The Source. Well worth the listen. Short but sweet!

[FromGeminor]

Floor snatched my soul several years ago. No regrets. She can have it. She deserves it. 😊
I love classical music. Im a classically trained pianist and singer. This duo and genre combo is like chocolate and peanut butter to my ears.

[felipecampos]

hello, Epica is the goat of symphonic metal, couple of songs you need to listen from them that will blow your mind:
unleashed live retrospect
design your universe live retrospect
solitary ground live paradiso.
The first two are gonna give you goosebumps, the last one make you cry 😉

[Thorgrim]

Hard to imagine they pulled this off at a metal show. Two amazing ladies singing their hearts out.

[anna-mariagantidou]

Two badas ladies with enchanting voices in a powerful hymn... what more could you ask for... Great reaction ❤💯

[markwakefield]

It’s much credit to metal fans that they appreciate great music outside their chosen genre. Shows maturity and sophistication

[WNYretiree]

What a lovely way to start off my afternoon. Two of the absolutely best female voices in th world today. My breath catches every time I hear this.

[pietkeizer]

Two sopranos, but Floor song the alto part. And….never forget the conductor 😊. What a singers. Floor is so versatile….from Stabat Mater to Disdain ( Floor growling in her second band Revamp). Tip for Simone solo? Solitary Ground, what a beautiful song. Bye the way….nice, warm reaction. Greetings from the Netherlands

[randymarple]

When they sing together, egos go out the window. They really have a levy of the music they give us. Definitely SANCTA TERRA should finish this duet!

[zbygniewprlwytzkofsky]

Floor's perfection and control becoming visible in the curtsy or reference to the director at the end❤

[KaisaValkama]

Hi again. This whole concert is full of emotional moments . If you listen it through, you become so very happy. World class singer like Floor makes good song special and good song spectacular. ...Kaisa from Finland

[mattilindstrom]

I generally can hardly bear these classical music sorrow and grief pieces, but for the singers I've done it a multitude of times. My eyes never have been dry in the end.

[oldmanjimh]

Wow, never saw this one. Beautiful. So nice with just the orchestra and no band.

[PittDaddy]

Thanks for taking the Epica journey. I love watching people discover this incredible band. You truly do them justice.

[tonilaitinen]

This is yet another testament to the talent many metal singers have. People outside the genre dont realize the kind of talent there can be found. I believe metal has some of the greatest composers of our time just as many of the great young poets of our time are rappers.

[oldman]

So so so beautiful! The only thing they don't have yet are their pearly white wings. They must have fallen from heaven. Greetings from the Netherlands.
