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:
music right from the movie 
2008-07-24 - my wife is a big fan of the movie. this music is right from the movie. It is not music inspired from the movie like some of those disapointing cd i have atained in the past. it's right from the movie so if you watch the movie you have heard the music before. I don't like the wall art that media player wants you to look at as the music plays but in a cd player it sounds great. It is exactly what you would expect.
Excellent
2008-05-04 - Even if you don't like the films, this soundtrack will take you to Middle Earth.
GREAT!! Fast shipping
2008-04-07 - Prompt shipping, item came as described. My husband LOVES it and couldn't be happier with it! I'll have to buy the rest of the recordings soon!
Lovely themes 
2008-04-04 - I listened to the recordings straight through. I enjoyed the music, and found the many returns to the primary musical themes very emotional. But I have to admit that I could only listen to the recordings as background music. These are not pieces that sustain my interest. Now, granted, my attention span is not long these days, but I guess I'd hoped to be so moved by the music that I could allow my whole self to simply listen. That didn't happen.
Loved it!
2008-03-09 - I bought this because we are having a Renaissance themed wedding in a couple of months. We were looking for celtic style music to walk down the aisle to and thought that this would be a good place to look. I really think this is an excellent sound track. There is one song in there that we may use for our party named Flaming Red Hair. Also, I think the bridesmaids will walk down the aisle to excerpts from The Shire. We'll see how it goes. Anyway, even if we don't use the music, I think it is an excellent soundtrack.
