Free Music Notes for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (The Complete Recordings)
Free Music Review: An immersive, compelling listening experience.
Hit: 5 Stars
The difference with these complete recordings.. is the sheer weight of material. The theatrical soundtrack is a mere greatest hits by comparison. The impression is that, after everyone has left the concert hall, you've been invited back, to listen to fruits of the exaustive and countless re-envisionings of this music for the film fleshed out in the grandest scope and the fullest form. If you were blown away by the third theatrical soundtrack, as I was, the new material will immerse you back into the rich and compelling power of Shore's music and the world of Middle-Earth. The sensitivity and innovation of Shore's score is that of a master at work. Highlights are the opening 'Roots and Beginnings' which was taken out of the final film, but which i my opinion contributes chillingly and devastatingly to the Sm?agol/D?agol scene that opens the film, the tyrannical Mordor theme raging to the surface behind Gollums' cruel murder.
'The Eyes of The White Tower' is another powerfully moving piece which fleshes out the scene around the courtyard of minas tirith and in the confrontation between Gandalf and Denethor.'The Houses of Healing' also works beautifully with the vocal of Liv Tyler.
You may think the sheer amount of music would become wearisome and repetitive, but all throughout Shore weaves subtle and beautiful orchestral colours and themes mixed with the grandeur and mythical heroism that echoes the spirit of Tolkien and that will have you coming back again and again
Free Music Review: SIMPLEMENTE INCREIBLE
Hit: 5 Stars
Una de las mejores compilaciones de musica para peliculas, esta es la joya que corona todo el trabajo musical de esta trilogia. Mi unica critica seria que el DVD viene grabado en los dos lados de los discos,lo que los hace muy delicados pues es facil que se maltrate cualquiera de las dos caras. todo lo demas es un excelente producto.Free Music Review: Long Live the King
Hit: 5 Stars
Ever since I heard that the Complete scores were going to be released I couldn't wait for the Return of the King. I fell in love with this movie ever since I saw it on the big screen and could never get it out of my head. Howard Shore is a genious and I don't know anyone else who could have done what he did with this music. All of my favorite music moments are on these cd's and I find myself listening to it over and over again. I place the cd's in my player and close my eyes and I can follow the movie cue by cue. Worth the money and worth the time. Free Music Review: ROTK OST
Hit: 5 Stars
This is amazing! Hours of listening pleasure to finish off the collection. Surprisingly a lot of tracks sound much better than in the movie especially tracks supporting the battle scenes.
Where as The Two Towers incidental music tended to be slightly tiresome, this score keeps you engaged in every track and you notice more and more themes interwoven from the previous scores with each listen.
A must buy for a LOTR fan!
Free Music Review: Hours of bliss...
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm such a fan of the movies that I naturally had to get the music. These extended versions of the musical scores are heavenly. Having several hours of music to fill my days and my senses is my kind of bliss. Anyone who hears the music is magically transported back to the wonderful movies and can relive the wonder of three great experiences. My only wish would be that someday many of the themes-in-song would be made into full-length songs instead of just the snippets we hear throughout the movies. Now THAT would be music to buy.
