PORTLAOISE, Ireland - illiNews -- To honour the 10th anniversary of the death of legendary actor and vocalist Sir Christopher Lee, Ireland based composer Damien Cain has re-released a forgotten gem: their 2006 collaboration, 'Elenore'.
Originally recorded at the iconic Townhouse Studios in London, 'Elenore' is a philharmonic crossover piece – blending classical orchestration with modern lyrical drama. The work is a powerful musical interpretation of Edgar Allan Poe's haunting poem 'The Raven', brought to life by the unmistakable voice of Christopher Lee and the lush soundscapes of Das Berliner Filmorchester, conducted by Christian Hagitte.
"Elenore is not just a song – it's a theatrical experience," says Cain. "Christopher's voice turns Poe's verse into something both intimate and apocalyptic. The fact that this track was nearly lost makes it feel even more urgent to share now."
Lee, best known for his towering presence in cinema ('The Lord of the Rings', 'Dracula', 'Star Wars'), also had a surprising musical career – from opera and spoken word to collaborations with symphonic and metal bands. 'Elenore' stands out as one of his most poetic and cinematic recordings.
