Free Music Review: Howard Shore achieves greatness
Hit: 5 Stars
As an avid Tolkien and Lord of the Rings fan, I know what makes the movies so moving and epic. The answer is the soundtrack by Howard Shore. Each track puts you right into Middle Earth with the Fellowship and sweeps you away in their journey. For anyone who loves the trilogy or just good heartwarming music, this soundtrack is for you.
CD came prompt and in perfect packaging and conditions. No complaits what-so-ever.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Poster
The regular jewel-case version will contain one of seven collectors' cards.This final chapter of Peter Jackson's sprawling adaptation of Tolkien's "Ring" trilogy closes out one of the most accomplished cycles in cinema--and film music--history. As he's done for the saga's first two installments, composer Howard Shore has honed a mature, brooding orchestral masterpiece that's long on subtle shadings of mood and nuance, while eschewing the hollow bombast that's characterized all too many mainstream action and adventure films for three decades. If anything, he's pared this chapter of his music for Middle Earth even closer to the bone, the trilogy's familiar themes repeated with a sparing hand that only heightens their dramatic power. Like Herrmann before him, Shore has a preternatural understanding of orchestral timbres and their almost mystical connections with human emotions, and he's used it here to close out this remarkable trilogy with Wagnerian dramatic sweep, yet one with a distinctly modern, understated melodic sense that is Shore's alone. James Galway and Renee Fleming make key instrumental and vocal contributions, respectively, while Annie Lennox's soulful "Into the West" makes the expected, if unobtrusive, bow to the theatrical pop song conventions. --Jerry McCulley
