Luca Turilli's Dreamquest

Luca Turilli's (Rhapsody of Fire's composer and guitarist) latest side project, first album was released early June 2006 and is called "Lost Horizons". Musically, this is an ambitious project mixing Luca's strong classical and baroque influences with symphonic metal, new age, vocal pop and electronic sounds. The lyrics focus on Luca's favorite themes such as the Earth, nature, ancient civilizations, spirituality, love or mysticism.

Most of them are in English, but the whole song Sospiro Divino is in Italian and some songs include Latin parts. Luca plays keyboards/piano/harpsichord on this album, and the guitar parts are performed by the French virtuoso Dominique Leurquin, who is also Rhapsody's live guitarist. The singer's name is kept a secret (she's called "Myst" on the album) though it has been speculated that she's the American singer Bridget Fogle, who performed backing vocals for the British artist Sarah Brightman and the Dutch band Epica.
