This limited edition release includes a bonus DVD of trailers and "Howard Shore: An Introspective". 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 ... Full Descriptionthe 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.

The Lord of Composers
Howard Shore really outdid himself. I'm not going to distinguish between all three film soundtracks, but this CD has a lot of my favorites. All three film soundtracks are unique in their own way because the films themselves are unique thanks to the brilliant minds of Peter Jackson and J.R.R Tolkien. The music itself varies so much between soft elegantly composed pieces and the booming battle scenes. Between light and dark.
Also they have many guest singers such as Enya who fit in perfectly in some pieces like my personal favorite Twilight and Shadow.
Bottom line, get this soundtrack, as well as those of the Fellowship of the Ring and the Two Towers. Submitted by Jesse (Wisconsin) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Unexplainable If you like listening to a epic sounding music, this is a must have. Submitted by ferzerix (San Jose, CA, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Awesome! It was a great soundtrack! Buy it, even if you haven't watched the movies! Submitted by Alex (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Amazing, simply amazing. This soundtrack is one of the best. It is simply amazing. I had the honour of being able to listen to Howard Shore conduct this soundtrack live, along with the other two. The sound is amazing, the elvish, orcish, and other lyrics in the background of the songs. Billy Boyd is simply wonderful in The Steward of Gondor, I had no idea he had such a voice!
I have no idea what that person was thinking when they gave this soundtrack one star. Just because it may be your least favourite of the three does not mean it is horrible.
This soundtrack is nothing short of amazing. It is so much more. Submitted by Ali (Portland, OR, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
