The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring - The Complete Recordings

Product Information

Legendary composer Howard Shore has composed scores for some of the most memorable and world-renowned film and television series. Globally respected for his passion for J.R.R. Tolkien’s work, he is perhaps best known for his work on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film trilogies. The Shadow of the Past / A Knife in the Dark (From ""The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring") The music for all three films was composed, orchestrated and conducted by Howard Shore. 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. There’s probably never been as ambitious a film score as Howard Shore’s 10-hour epic for the “Lord of the Rings” series… the music is rich and complex, drawing on a vast range of styles and exotic instruments to evoke J.R.R. Tolkien’s world… Shore uses an elaborate leitmotif technique (where musical themes are associated with specific characters or ideas, and are developed across the entire series) to hold the sprawling tale together. Lush, beautiful and full of intriguing surprises, it’s no wonder that it’s become one of the most popular film scores ever written. For a premium release like Lord of the Rings you expect premium quality of the merchandise you buy, ar least quality that matches the amound paid for the product.

For well over a decade Made me get the Complete Recordings of each film on vinyl. On which I hoped that they might be of a better quality since they were really limited and expensive(app 200 eu). But no, the total (booklet, box, map of middle earth) by appearance was way better and more premium, but the coloured vinyl they pressed that on isn't very clean either. So or they release these just to collect and not actually play and price them for top dollar because the nuts will get them anyway? (Aint that just like me?)
