Formed in 1997 by English guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and American singer Candice Night, Blackmore's Night blend Renaissance, folk and rock influences into a neo-medieval sound with acoustic and electric elements.

The project emphasizes medieval/renaissance atmospheres, acoustic instrumentation, covers and occasional electric guitar work; they tour and have multiple studio and live releases.

 Perhaps the most suitable rating would be four stars, but for the musical depth, for the eclecticism, for Candice, one of the most expressive and sensual female voices in the entire world scene, for Ritchie’s courage, for the inspiration that animates this project, why not give the highest score?
