Review of Lord Of The Rings - Original Soundtrack by bolte

Advantages: awesome music, some of the best instrumentals out today
Disadvantages: none

...this is one of the greatest scores for any movie out today. it includes some of the world's greatest artists including sir james galway on flute as well as other featured musicians. the bold, powerful music of the film loses nothing when observed on its own without the images. the expressiveness of the score is of a quality rarely seen today. though there is a repetitive theme throughout the various tracks this was necessary as it is an accompaniment and not meant to detract too much attention from the film, but rather to embelish and support it. though it was repetitive in nature there were different unique themes, and each variation on a particular theme was original and deep. one does not even have to have seen the movie to enjoy and appreciate this moving soundtrack....

Lord of the Soundtracks!
Review of Lord Of The Rings - Original Soundtrack by feniak

Advantages: Music matches the excelence of the film!
Disadvantages: If you are not a fan of this style of music you might find it boring.

...self slowly falling in love to this soundtrack, it is so tempting... The musical assessment leaves excellent impressions. Shore’s work is absolutely brilliant! The music was suitable for a cinematographic epic like Lord of the Rings, in a closure that overflowed from sentiments, magnificence and tragedy. Choosing Annie Lennox to sing “Into The West” was a great selection! Other participants in the soundtrack include the soprano Renee Fleming and the Irish flute musician Sir James Galway. It also includes the fabulous Aragorn of "Lord of the Rings", Viggo Mortensen. An elegant glorious soundtrack that is a must for any Tolkien fan. ~~~Track List~~~: 1. A Storm Is Coming 2. Hope And Memory 3. Minas Tirith-Feat. Ben Del Maestro 4. The White Tree 5. The Steward Of Gondor-Feat. B.Boyd 6. Minas Morgul 7. The Ride Of The Rohirrim 8... Read review
