MUSIC FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY

Product Information

The soundtrack also highlights two original songs written and performed by Enya: "May It Be" and "Aníron (Theme for Aragorn and Arwen). The Complete Recordings is last year’s most important archival soundtrack release, expanding and preserving one of the finest and most significant recent scores in all of film music.

R. Tolkien's stunning novels and their film adaptations have had a profound impact on my imagination for nearly my entire life," McCreary said. The optical disc count increases by one too, so instead of three CDs and a blu-ray you now get four CDs and a blu-ray.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. If you have the first Fellowship of the Rings set, you will know what to expect – some stunning music, beautifully presented. It sounds incredible, amazing quality, very sharp disc color, and the leather-bound box is nice as well. In addition you get a a section of the Middle Earth map which means you will be getting other sections with the next releases. The original releases of the soundtracks only contained the highlights, but this is the edition to get if you are a fan.

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. K. and won two Academy Awards® for Best Original Score and for Best Original Song with “Into the West” performed by Annie Lennox; two Golden Globe Awards® for Best Original Score and Song; and two Grammy Awards® for Best Score Soundtrack Album and Song Written for a Motion Picture. The trilogy earned a total of 17 Academy Awards and was directed by Peter Jackson, with music composed by Howard Shore. The LPs also look much thicker than the standard ones: this additional thickness should prevent warping with time. This site is maintained and updated by fans of The Lord of the Rings, and is in no way affiliated with Tolkien Enterprises or the Tolkien Estate.The box is like a book which is going to look great with the next two upon their release so I cannot wait for those too! Following the recent deluxe sets that featured The Complete Recording from each film, Rhino will introduce a limited-edition set that includes the original soundtracks to all three films. After some investigation it seems many people have the same issue so it must be a bad pressing, normally Silva Screen Records do a great job with pressings but this one is really terrible.

The packaging is lovely too, and the box is sturdier apparently than those of the individual complete recordings. Breathtaking and majestic, the 2001 Oscar and Grammy-winning score composed by Howard Shore also includes Enya's Oscar-nominated 'May It Be'.

I can't tell you how excited I am to sit down, crack open one of my 10 copies of Fellowship of the Ring, put this record on and read the night away. For fans of any of The Lord of the Rings films, the Fellowship of the Ring/Complete Recordings is an essential experience. This deserves to be on a bookshelf or on a display table in the middle of the living room for everyone to look at. Elevate your musical experience and embark on a sonic adventure through the realms of Middle-earth with "Music from The Lord of the Rings" on vinyl.
