Christopher Lee's music

from Wikipedia:

Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross is a symphonic metal concept album released in 2010 by actor Christopher Lee.

It tells the story of the First Holy Emperor of Rome, King Charlemagne. Lee himself is a descendant of Charlemagne through his Italian ancestors.[1][2]

The album features The Tolkien Ensemble from Denmark, a 100 piece orchestra and a number of guest vocalists playing the different roles in the story. It was produced by Italian musician, composer and producer Marco Sabiu.[1]

In the past, Christopher Lee also worked with two other metal bands: Rhapsody of Fire and Manowar.
