Editorial Review:
An epic film score receives epic treatment with The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring/Complete Recordings. Released for the first time on CD, the complete score for the first film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy contains more than 180 minutes of music on three CDs plus a DVD-Audio disc of the entire score in Surround Sound. Breathtaking and majestic, the 2001 Oscar and Grammy winning score compsted by Howard Shore also includes Enya's Oscar nominated "May It Be." For fans of any of The Lord of the Rings films, the Fellowship of the Ring/Complete Recordings is an essential experience.
Description of The Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring (The Complete Recordings):
As fans of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy know, each film exists in two versions: the theatrical one and the extended one that appeared on DVD. This luxurious box set--which also comes with a detailed essay on the movie's musical themes--features the full extended score, so many cues not on the CDs of the individual movies are included. Granted, the majority of listeners will be perfectly happy with the shorter versions of the scores--it's a safe bet that most people can live without hearing, say, Ian McKellen's 35-second-long ditty "The Road Goes Ever On" at the beginning of "Bag End," or Viggo Mortensen's performance of his own composition, "The Song of Lúthien," within the track "The Nazgûl." But if you're a completist and/or a devotee of Howard Shore's pounding tympani and overwhelming choral compositions (featured particularly prominently on disc 3, a large chunk of which is devoted to a battle scene), then this set is a dream come true. Audiophiles should note that the fourth disc, a DVD, offers the score in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. Fire up those speakers so the whole shire can hear. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
The Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring (The Complete Recordings) Reviews:
Too much packaging, not enough in disc quality for the money. 
2009-10-21 - I purchased The Complete Recordings of the Fellowship of the Ring essentially because I wanted to hear the rest of the music that was not included on the single CD version of the soundtrack. Like most of the LOTR products, I find them pricey and with a lot of premium packaging that I find unnecesary. I would have preferred a Super Audio CD (SACD) stand-alone option with better sound quality (88/96khz/24-bit) or better yet, a Dolby True HD or DTS Master Audio option as a stand-alone product (no CDs) with lossless audio than either the CDs or DVD-A (only 48khz/24-bit) recording provided in this product. Could also skip most of the premium packaging to lower the cost.
A couple SACDs or one Dolby TrueHD or DTS Master-Audio disc with a basic case and booklet for about half the price would be much better alternatives for audiophiles more interested in high-quality recordings of music they like rather than the premium packaging.
I wouldn't be surprised to find another version of these recordings from New Line (such as I suggested above) but for an even higher price. New Line seems especially intent on soaking LOTR fans for every last dollar.
Film Score Perfection! 
2009-10-11 - I resisted buying this for the longest time, since I already own the single disc soundtrack that came out with the film's release. I just saw "Fellowship" with a live orchestra last night at Radio City Music Hall in N.Y.C. and this item was available for purchase. I bought it without hesitation and do not regret it! Excellent music start to finish. The only regret I did have was the long line after the show to get Howard Shore's autograph... it was late and I couldn't wait. Oh well, maybe next year at the live orchestral performance of "The Two Towers"!!!
The Lord of the Rings the Return of the King The Complete Recordings
2009-05-08 - A rare instant where you can hear the soundtrack of a major film as it was originally composed and recorded before it was edited and cut to fit the various scenes of the film .
Packaging was slighty damaged and shipping was a tad long but otherwise I am very satisfied .
Howard Shore is awesome!!
2009-04-17 - Fantastic music. Wonderfully presented in decorated boxes and well packaged. Awesome experience to hear the full score! Well worth the money spent!
Lord of the Rings 
2009-04-10 - I heard an excerpt of Lord of the Rings: Fellowship... on the radio & rushed home to order. The set is much darker than the excerpt I heard, so a little disappointed there. While listening in the car, there are some areas that are very soft and hard to hear, while others just blast out the windows. I enjoy the complexity of the music overall, but probably wouldn't buy another set like this.
