Known for Acting
Since many years Echoes, the band around guitarist and singer Oliver Hartmann (Avantasia, Hartmann, ex-Rock Meets Classic), is well known as frontman of the most popular and successful German Pink Floyd Tribute meanwhile touring across Europe and far beyond the borders of Germany. With their successful live DVD/CD "Barefoot To The Moon" (No. #20 at the Media Control Charts Germany 2015), recorded and arranged with pure acoustic instruments and supported by a four-piece string ensemble from Prague, the band has impressively shown that the original's great heritage can be interpreted in an interesting, inspiring and absolutely creative way. Now in early 2019, the group will release their successor and electrical continuation entitled 'Live From The Dark Side (A Tribute To Pink Floyd)", recorded live at 'Rock Of Ages Festival 2018' in Rottenburg-Seebronn, Germany.
Can you walk barefoot to the dark side of the moon? Echoes prove it with their acoustic show “Barefoot To The Moon”. The band, led by exceptional guitarist and singer Oliver Hartmann (Rock Meets Classic, Avantasia), is supported by a string quartet from the Bohemian Symphony Orchestra in Prague. The complex songs of the British rock giants are carefully stripped down and reduced to their essential structures with spartan, sometimes unusual instrumentation. The unique magic of this music is by no means lost, on the contrary. Familiar sounds change color and previously hidden nuances emerge. In its quasi “naked” state, a fascinating fragile beauty is revealed that has never been heard before. In short: Echoes expose the essence of Pink Floyd. Recorded at Stadttheater Aschaffenburg/Germany in December 2014
The Flying Opera is the first Avantasia live album by German power metal vocalist Tobias Sammet, released in March 2011. It was recorded during their first world tour in 2008, in support of the album The Scarecrow.
Story revolves around the sad plight of the live sex performers Rolly (Paolo Rivero), Gigi (Klaudia Koronel), Rosita (Ana Capri), Sandra (Hazel Espinosa and Vio (Simon Ibarra) and what drives them to do the inexplicable.
