MUSIC FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY

Product Information

It won the Academy Award for Best Original Score, as well as the Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack Album. Don't miss the opportunity to own this stunning soundtrack on vinyl, perfect for fans of the series and vinyl collectors alike. The contents is the same as on the CD: information on the compositor, the used leitmotifs, the instruments and the performance. That's too bad because the orchestra is of course great and the choice of tracks is perfect to have a condensed experience of the 3 movies in 1h. Breathtaking and majestic, the 2001 Oscar and Grammy winning score composed by Howard Shore also includes Enya's Oscar nominated 'May It Be'.

com (also known as Esprit) has been the world's biggest and best seller of premium quality and top condition rare and vintage vinyl records, rare CD's and music memorabilia since 1985 - that's 39 years! That also contains all pieces that were sung in the movies, like The Road Goes Ever On sung by both Iam McKellen and Ian Holm and all the original songs like May It Be by Enya and Into The West by Annie Lennox. For 20 to 30 euros you can own this exact collection as a very nice sounding three-CD boxset, so paying 500+ for it on vinyl now seems silly. The LPs also look much thicker than the standard ones: this additional thickness should prevent warping with time. The complete soundtrack of the Fellowship of the Ring contains many of some of my favourite tracks from the film that were unfortunately not contained within the standard Lord of the Rings soundtrack including Flaming Red Hair (the Hobbit dancing song played at Bilbo's birthday party), the Passing of the Elves, Balin's Tomb among others.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Hearing these tracks in my living room alone make me feel transported within Middle-earth itself from the peaceful harmony of the Shire, to the eeriness of Bree to the darkness of Moria and Isengard to the tranquil wonder that is Rivendell. Bear McCreary, known for his incomparable world-building and use of innovative musical approaches in the worlds of television, film, and video games, will guide audiences through the major events of the Second Age of Middle-earth, as seen in the forthcoming series. I’ve owned two sets of discs - one being pretty scuffed up with hairline scratches and the other set being brand new unplayed discs.

The Lord of the Rings is one of most successful trilogies in film history earning 17 Academy Awards ® including three for its music. His music was performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, with contributions from two choirs: London Voices and London Oratory School Schola. I have a dedicated stereo system, high end, and was a bit of a snob about playing 'serious music' on a blu-ray player with surround sound. Take a trip through Middle Earth with the epic soundtrack of the celebrated Lord of the Rings trilogy, played by the Philharmonic Prague Orchestra!If you have the first Fellowship of the Rings set, you will know what to expect – some stunning music, beautifully presented. Detail abounds, all instruments and voices have amazing presence, and the sonic landscape is vast, with a dynamic range that is often breathtaking.
