Opinions of Composers


Charlie Gregson

I love howard Shore. The lord of the rings symphony was a masterpeice.

Blasphemy.

The Lord of the Rings Symphony was a rehash of his score-work for the films. To hear great concert music that's tied to a film, listen to the Red Violin Chaconne by John Corigliano. It was written BEFORE the film was scored, and is therefore a truly original concert work.

agreed.

actually, I thought the music "as is" on the OST CD held up much better structurally than the "symphony" (for which I paid $150/ticket to hear live... I could have bought LOTS of CDs of LotR for those $300), and it holds up considerably better within the film than on the discs, where it at least has true structural integrity.
