Luca Turilli's Rhapsody - Releasing Last Album Remixed In Dolby Atmos And 2 Live CDs
The latest album of Luca Turilli's Rhapsody, Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus, was chosen to be the first studio album in music history to be remixed in Dolby Atmos. Renowned producer/mixing engineer Chris Heil (David Bowie, Bryan Adams, Scorpions) mixed the entire opus in Dolby Atmos and the result will be submitted for the 2017 Grammy nominations. This unique package will be completed by two brand-new live CDs, which were co-produced by Alex Landenburg, mixed by Christian "Moschus" Moos at Spacelab Studio (Grefrath, Germany) and mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio (San Marino, Italy).
Prometheus, The Dolby Atmos Experience + Cinematic And Live will be released December 9th via Nuclear Blast.
Luca Turilli, responsible for composition, orchestra and choir arrangements states: "The new Dolby Atmos sound fits perfectly with Luca Turilli's Rhapsody music just as the Rhapsody music - emotional, visionary and cinematic in its nature - is perfect to showcase the potential of an amazing technology destined to revolutionize the field of immersive audio's experience. From a composer's point of view, Dolby Atmos is like the advent of a canvas with colors in three dimensional space. It enables me to place the band, orchestra and choir around me like I would in a real life situation, granting to the listener an emotional and breathtaking journey in a parallel dimension. Every instrument can finally breathe and live in three dimensions, turning the Dolby Atmos version of Rhapsody's music into a divine, musical experience of transcendence. No limits for creativity anymore. This new Dolby technology allows my heart and soul to finally express themselves with complete freedom and exciting force!"
But what exactly is Dolby Atmos? Cinemas discovered this new format and integrated loud speakers in their ceilings to place the listener into an 'acoustic honeycomb'.
"This novelty has now reached the home technology and we at Yamaha wanted to support the project of Luca Turilli's Rhapsody with an audio-bluray-disc in Dolby Atmos," Michael Geise from Yamaha explains. "It's a very thrilling challenge and makes this release a vivid and new experience. And since we are always looking for new contents, the cooperation with Luca Turilli was a great idea for us. Dolby Atmos is already included in our receivers and the customer can immediately use it - but so far only few releases support this new format and usually it is only available for films, not for music blurays. But now it is and we created a medium that could easily bring instruments to life, without any artificial effects. We had the know-how to turn this performance into a real live experience with our loudspeakers, receivers and the new sound bar that brings the musicians almost right into everyone's living room!"
"Cinematic And Live is the first live product to be released by my Luca Turilli's Rhapsody band and represents the live album I always dreamed of. It was recorded in Italy, France, Germany and Spain in 2012 and 2016 and it almost includes all the songs played by Luca Turilli's Rhapsody until now. We recently played our show number 100 and this important release represents the perfect celebration for these last years of live activity around the world. Cinematic And Live features songs from both the Ascending To Infinity and the Prometheus cinematic tours and it includes over 120 minutes of Rhapsody music: the newest songs, the old classics and some titles from my solo discography, too. The mix of Christian 'Moschus' Moos and the mastering of Simone Mularoni were the cherry on the cake for this live album sounding really powerful, soulful and emotional like no others, with the important live atmosphere adding a new and exciting dimension to Luca Turilli's Rhapsody's cinematic music!"

I hated this album (ironically mainly because of the horrendous mix), but I'm interested to hear it again in this mix, it does sound intriguing..

Written by Didymus on 01.10.2016 at 13:20 What did you dislike about the mix? Maybe my ears aren't as well trained as yours but I thought is was fantastic and I can't wait for this release as I am assuming it will be better than the original with I love dearly.

Written by CWA on 01.10.2016 at 16:16 The rhythmic guitars are hidden away and the drums and keys sound muffled to me. It just lacks presence and power imo. Rhapsody of Fire never had the best mixes, but if I play a song of theirs after one from this album I immediately notice how it sounds a lot more expansive and present, so I'm just surprised Luca is satisfied with these (I also didn't enjoy Ascending's mix). But anyway, just a picky opinion, I'm glad you're enjoying it, that's what matters in the end!

Written by Didymus on 01.10.2016 at 17:25 exactly! But I like single Il Cigno Nero (reloaded), its sound and mix is perfect!

Written by IcePickLodger on 01.10.2016 at 19:53 Ahhhh, I hear it now. The only explanation that makes sense to me, for the way which the album was mixed, is that Luca is really trying to emphasize the orchestral components of his music these days. I've just spent a little time listening to both versions of Il cigno nero and I come away liking them both equally. If I'm in more of a metal mood i feel i would play the reloaded version and if I want a loftier symphonic sound I would listen to the original. It all comes down to the temperament the listener I believe.
