The Lord of the Rings Symphony,
Ugh. Every British musical cliche possible. Ponderous and depressing to listen to apart from the film.
So, I read the trilogy 35years ago, haven’t seen the new movies. I thought that Ralph Bakshi’s film was an excellent start to bringing the books to screen. I don’t remember that score, and it doesn’t
bother me.
I’m voting with my wallet and buying the disks. Thanks for playing some of the symphony, I wouldn’t have heard it otherwise.
