1997年,Rhapsody首张专辑的出现,不仅袭卷全欧洲,更带给全世界所有金属乐迷们无比的震憾!此张融合了classical、symphonic、epic及speed的史诗巨作,优美顺畅的speed metal曲式加上管弦乐的大合奏,不仅气势磅礡,原Labyrinth意大利第一高音主唱Fabio Lione的加入,更将乐团所欲展现的优美与壮阔感发挥到极致,让人享受一场古典与金属乐交锋的华丽盛宴!光是看这些古典乐的大师,如:莫扎特、巴哈、萧邦 (钢琴)、韦瓦尔第 (协奏曲)、帕格尼尼 (小提琴) 等的作品,都在其名单当中,就知道这个乐团大有来头!Rhapsody由深受古典乐熏陶的吉他手Luca Turilli及keyboard手Alex Staropoli所领军,凭着希望能做出结合古典、power symphony与优美旋律之重金属乐的执着,经过4年的苦心创作,终于诞生了这张史诗作品。
Rhapsody初始的团名为Thundercross,成员包括了吉他手兼主唱Luca、键盘手Alex及鼓手Daniele Carbonera,而乐团的风格亦其来有自,核心人物Luca个人相当偏爱巴洛克音乐,并且热衷于弹奏melodic metal,他希望藉由音乐来散播正面的讯息,并呈现出古典音乐充满生气的能量。而第二位重要人物Alex,则可说是Luca的最佳拍文件,学古典音乐出身的他,受过严格的钢琴训练,再加上他家庭的影响,使得Alex带给人一种艺术家的高雅气息,除了钢琴之外,管风琴(organ)是他最爱的乐器,其次是大键琴(harpsochord)。
Rhapsody的风格令人耳目一新,是我最近几年唯一欣赏的金属音乐。2006年的时候Rhapsody在加拿大开了最后的演唱会,气氛火爆之极,可惜国内很少有人了解此方面的音乐。
在此先给大家奉一首来自专辑<<Tales From The Emerald Sword Saga>>中的主打乐曲Emerald Sword,大家听听感觉,喜欢的话我继续发。

歌词:
I crossed the valleys the dust of midlands
to search for the third key to open the gates
Now I'm near the altar the secret inside
as legend told my beloved sun light the dragon's eyes
On the way to the glory I'll honor my sword
to serve right ideals and justice for all
Finally happened the sun fit their eyes
the spell was creating strange games of light
Thanks to hidden mirrors I found my lost way
over the stones I reached the place it was a secret cave
In a long bloody battle that prophecies told
the light will prevail hence wisdom is gold
For the king for the land for the mountains
For the green valleys where dragons fly
For the glory the power to win the black lord
I will search for the emerald sword
Only a warrior with a clear heart
could have the honor to be kissed by the sun
Yes, I'm that warrior I followed my way
Led by the force of cosmic soul I can reach the sword
On the way to the glory I'll honor my sword
to serve right ideals and justice for all
For the king for the land for the mountains
For the green valleys where dragons fly
For the glory the power to win the black lord
I will search for the emerald sword
For the king for the land for the mountains
for the green valleys where dragons fly
for the glory the power to win the black lord
I will search for the emerald sword.
