MUSIC FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY

Product Information

On which I hoped that they might be of a better quality since they were really limited and expensive(app 200 eu). It will not play on an Imac unless you purchase a USB external bluray drive and install the relevant software. If you have the first Fellowship of the Rings set, you will know what to expect – some stunning music, beautifully presented.

The box is less sturdy compared to the rest of the box sets, so most copies of FOTR do suffer from box damage - mainly on the bottom from the weight of the discs. 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! In terms of the 4CD+blu-ray set, things are more balanced and this is actually good value right now in the UK. That also contains all pieces that were sung in the movies, like The Road Goes Ever On sung by both Iam McKellen and Ian Holm and all the original songs like May It Be by Enya and Into The West by Annie Lennox. Anyone lucky enough to visit Weta studios see's this reflected in the creation of films, merchandise and especially the employees attitude.

The LPs also look much thicker than the standard ones: this additional thickness should prevent warping with time.

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. His music was performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, with contributions from two choirs: London Voices and London Oratory School Schola.

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. 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. Whether you're a fan of the films or a vinyl enthusiast, this soundtrack is a must-have addition to your collection. It won the Academy Award ® for Best Original Score, as well as the Grammy ® for Best Score Soundtrack Album. The vinyls themselves are heavy weight which is nice to handle compared to some thinner vinyls I've seen in the past.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. Crackles, sometimes all over a side (like the whole side D, which contains the most wonderful music if you'd ask me).
