MUSIC FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY

Product Information

The packaging is lovely too, and the box is sturdier apparently than those of the individual complete recordings. I'm sure Waxwork Records and Mondo are sick to death of my tweets and comments over these years asking "When will you be releasing this! Both versions come with extensive liner notes from author Doug Adams who analyzes many of the themes and motifs used throughout the score. Sure, it would've been nice if there were printed sleeves instead of plain black poly sleeves in the box (but at least they are poly lined! Also, note that this is definitely a 6LP vinyl set, despite the label mocking up an image showing five vinyl records (d’oh!

I’ve owned two sets of discs - one being pretty scuffed up with hairline scratches and the other set being brand new unplayed discs. From day one, the Extended Editions of the movies, packaged in classic leatherbound book styles, you knew Peter Jackson was a fan and collector as much as we are. If you are a big fan Lord of the Rings especially when it comes to it's music I would whole heartily recommend it.

Instead, this is the original highlight versions of the three movies scores that were originally released as single CDs during the original theatrical releases of the three films.

Breathtaking and majestic, the 2001 Oscar and Grammy-winning score composed by Howard Shore also includes Enya's Oscar-nominated 'May It Be'. The plethora of unreleased material on this beautifully packaged edition is mouth-watering at the least, and the sonic dynamic achieved on the surround sound DVD of the entire 180-minute score is simply astonishing. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: The Motion Picture Trilogy Soundtrack is presented as a 180g 6LP collector's box with a leather-style spine. K. and won two Academy Awards for Best Original Score and for Best Original Song with "Into the West" performed by Annie Lennox and two Grammy Awards for Best Score Soundtrack Album and Song Written for a Motion Picture. This deserves to be on a bookshelf or on a display table in the middle of the living room for everyone to look at.I was fortunate enough to acquire the original Fellowship of the Rings – Complete Recordings when it was first issued and I wondered if it was worth the additional outlay second time round (my original box is getting a bit battered through over-use). THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE MOTION PICTURE TRILOGY SOUNDTRACK will be released on November 30 as a six-LP boxed set. R. Tolkien’s stunning novels and their film adaptations have had a profound impact on my imagination for nearly my entire life,” McCreary said. LOS ANGELES – The Lord of the Rings is one of most successful trilogies in film history earning 17 Academy Awards® including three for its music. It sounds incredible, amazing quality, very sharp disc color, and the leather-bound box is nice as well.

The soundtrack will also be available as a 3-CD disc set plus 1 Blu-ray audio disc containing high-resolution 5. Howard Shore's score for Peter Jackson's the Lord of the Ring Motion Picture Trilogy I have always felt to be one of the best and most iconic film scores of the 21st Century.Detail abounds, all instruments and voices have amazing presence, and the sonic landscape is vast, with a dynamic range that is often breathtaking. Whether you're a fan of the films or a vinyl enthusiast, this soundtrack is a must-have addition to your collection. Tolkien’s work, he is perhaps best known for his work on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film trilogies. Housed in a collector's box with red leather style spine, the collection is limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies on red vinyl. Released for the first time on vinyl, the complete score for the first film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy contains more than 180 minutes of music.

The limited edition of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Complete Recordings has been released in a beautifully designed album on 5 LPs. 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. 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. In terms of the 4CD+blu-ray set, things are more balanced and this is actually good value right now in the UK.Breathtaking and majestic, the 2001 Oscar and Grammy winning score composed by Howard Shore also includes Enya's Oscar nominated 'May It Be'. I've always been a movie soundtrack buff and the one for The Lord of the Rings trilogy is amongst the best ever written. 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. It's no accident the LOTR film music often tops movie score charts, unsurprising, since it really is up there with the best of them – so what are you waiting for? I’ve played the brand new set I had front to back and yes there’s the occassional pop or crackle (it’s vinyl) but it was world’s better than my scuffed up set (which even then still sounded fine).
