| | Lord Of The Rings Return Of King - Complete Recor Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King Soundtrack CD (2 Customer Reviews)
This limited edition release includes a bonus DVD of trailers and "Howard Shore: An Introspective".
This elegantly packaged box set presents composer Howard Shore's expansive score for the extended version of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING in its entirety, including many pieces not featured on the theatrical edition of the soundtrack. Highlights of this comprehensive collection include lengthy orchestral tracks such as "The Lighting of the Beacon," "Shelob's Lair," and "Days of the Ring," which capture both the dread and hope conveyed in Peter Jackson's stunning fantasy film.
The final film in Peter Jackson's stunning LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, THE RETURN OF THE KING concludes J.R.R. Tolkien's revered tale with the heroes of Middle-earth facing unspeakable evils and insurmountable odds. As with the previous two movies, Howard Shore's masterful score once again enhances the dire proceedings.
Orchestral themes from the first two films return like old friends, but with them arrive new elements, reflecting both the quieter moments and the many crucial action sequences. "The Steward of Gondor" features an excellent vocal performance by actor Billy Boyd (who plays the hobbit Pippin) over a lush bed of strings. In contrast, the pieces that accompany the dark side of the film, such as "Minas Morgul" and "Shelob's Lair" are menacing and utterly chilling. And, of course, scenes that involve battle or royal matters, such as "The Ride of Rohirrim" and "The Black Gate Opens," are appropriately majestic. Finally, following in the footsteps of Enya, Elizabeth Fraser, and Sheila Chandra, Annie Lennox contributes a key vocal to the achingly beautiful "Into the West." As with THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING and THE TWO TOWERS, Shore has created a remarkable musical backdrop.

With 3 hours and 50 minutes of glorious music presented on 4 Cds and 1 DVD-audio you have an experience that is unparalleled and unique.
Composer Howard Shore has brought his magnificent insights into Peter Jackson's film version of JRR Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" to a wonderful and fulfilling conclusion. Following the earlier releases of "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers" this recording of "The Return of the King" gives us music that is complex, compelling and marvellous. Encompassing the heroism, the terrors and the tenderness of the film and the book, this is perhaps the greatest film score ever written. Not to mention that the whole Lord of the Rings score is almost 10 hours long, with much that is not very audible or omitted in the film included here.
Yes, the set is not cheap, but then neither is the packaging, nor the sound, nor music itself. It is worth every penny, and CD Universe has it at one of the lowest prices anywhere. Be prepared to want the other two sets, if you have not already heard them. But you will never regret this purchase. It will uplift you for years to come.
In addition the commentaries by Doug Adams (in the set or additionally on the Net in a pdf file of the Annotated Score) are immensely clarifying and helpful.
For a more detailed review go to Soundtrack.net or to Doug Adams LotR film music blog.
If you need proof of the value of this set, note that the first pressing is already sold out almost everywhere, with more to come soon.
