Rhapsody - In Concert With Christopher Lee!
When the Italian epic metal band Rhapsody first met the legendary actor Christopher Lee in December 2003 during the recording of their current album "Symphony Of Enchanted Lands II - The Dark Secret" no one really knew what could come of this collaboration.
It was only after Lee himself, being a talented singer possessing a rich bass/baritone voice, expressed his "concerns" that he was about to narrate for the album in a role of a wizard king and not sing at all, laid the ground for what was to come next:
The release of the album was critically acclaimed by both fans and media and achieving fantastic chart positions throughout the world - the parties decided to meet again in December 2004 to re-record the album track "The Magic Of The Wizard's Dream", this time as a duet that would feature the rich and expressive singing voice of none other than Mr. Lee with the band Rhapsody.
In many reviews of the album, media and fans had already chosen the song as one of the best ever by the band. So this time producer Joey DeMaio was chosen by the band and Mr. Lee to produce the recording with the help of a Cologne string orchestra and some other guest musicians.
With Mr. Lee's command of over 12 languages it was a pleasure not a problem to record the song in the four different languages English, German, French and Italian. Also a spectacular video was shot in High Definition filmed by noted director Neil Johnson featuring a 40-piece orchestra and a 20-piece choir.
In addition to the four language versions the band also produced two brand new studio tracks, the fast and powerful "Autumn Twilight" and the sweet and traditionally influenced "Lo Specchio D'Argento" that will also appear on this new offering. Single release date: 4.04.2005
Christopher Lee will be joining RHAPSODY live on stage on this year's Earthshaker Fest 2005 in Geiselwind, Germany to perform the new single "The Magic Of The Wizard's Dream"!
