rating: 5 QuoteSmall wonder why I like Shore's musicQuote
This is some of the most impressive music ever made for a fantasy film. Howard Shore has done a fantastic job with all three films. The new motifs are splendid, and the new music that's found in the Extended Edition are wonderful to listen to. Thanks to both Howard Shore and Peter Jackson for the timeless LOTR trilogy.

rating: 5 QuoteWorth every $$$$Quote
I have the original 1 disc soundtrack for The Two Towers and was hesitent about buying the complete recordings due to the price. Also because I figured that all the best music was on the single disc edition that came out 4 years prior to this release.

But the entirety of the score is outstanding, well worth the price I paid for it. The DVD audio is also very impressive but is only advantageous if you actually have a surround sound setup to play it on.

If you're on the fence about making this purchase then hesitate no more, you won't regret it! August 16, 2008

rating: 5 QuotePerfect Balance of Awe and CharmQuote
In my opinion, Two Towers: Complete Recordings has some of the best tracks of the whole trilogy in its score. As a pivotal turning-point in Tolkien's epic, it has awe-inspiring tracks such as "Theoden Rides Forth" (Gandalf's Charge into Helm's Deep), "The Tales That Really Matter" (aftermath of Frodo's faceoff with the RingWraith), and "Last March of the Ents".
As well, it contains the charming tracks associated with the Ents and Fangorn Forest(Entmoot Decides, Dreams of Trees) and reiterates on the themes familiar with the Fellowship of the Ring in "Faramir's Good Counsel", "Glamdring", and "Elven Rope".
Finally, it contains the wonderful sounds of Rohan (Edoras, Court of Meduseld, "Where is the Horse and Rider?") that can only remind the listener of those wonderful moments when the Horse-Masters are introduced.

A five-star rating is just too small for this soundtrack! June 20, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteMust Have for any serious LOTR fan!Quote
The fact that these are scarce should indicate how incredible it is. It's one thing to listen to a sound track, and it's an entirely different thing to experience it in full digital surround sound. I love how you can literally sit, listen to the music, and visualize the movie scene-by-scene since this soundtrack is literally all of the music in the movie. If you can find it, buy it.

Compra altamente recomendable para coleccionistas. Con el tipo de envío de precio medio me llegó en 2 semanas. Ningún problema. El disco es muy bueno, una autentica joya de las BSO. May 18, 2008
