The Lord of the Rings was directed by Peter Jackson and features a score composed by Howard Shore. The trilogy earned a total of 17 Academy Awards®, including three for music. Beyond critical acclaim, the music from the films also enjoyed wide commercial success, collectively selling over 7 million albums.-The music for all three films was composed, orchestrated and conducted by Howard Shore. His music was performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, with contributions from two choirs: London Voices and London Oratory School Schola.-There’s probably never been as ambitious a film score as Howard Shore’s 10-hour epic for the “Lord of the Rings” series... the music is rich and complex, drawing on a vast range of styles and exotic instruments to evoke J.R.R. Tolkien’s world... Shore uses an elaborate leitmotif technique (where musical themes are associated with specific characters or ideas, and are developed across the entire series) to hold the sprawling tale together. Lush, beautiful and full of intriguing surprises, it’s no wonder that it’s become one of the most popular film scores ever written. - Stephen Brookes for the Washington Post, May, 2008

Beautiful packaging, quality sound
We gave this to our teenage daughter for Christmas because she loved the LOTR movies and also loves to listen to vinyl records, all types of music. Ours was packaged securely because the outer case construction and artwork is beautifully done and it looks great on the shelf, or out like a nice coffee table book. The sound quality is rich and full. The inner booklet is fun. As a companion gift to fans of the Peter Jackson movies, check out "The Middle Earth Traveler: Sketches from Bag End to Mordor".

As expected
I just got this item today and sound quality on my Audio Technica LP5 is excellent, at least to my ears. Packing is not good enough and its is damaged. After all I satisfied sound quality, box etc.

They Sound Amazing on Surround sound
While I initially gave this a one star review. I came to find out that my gripe against it was solely because of the record player I was using, I have since used a co workers player and surround sound to try them, and the quality was fantastic. I only wish they had included tracks from the extended editions.

Good product
Bought as a gift and they loved it. Everything worked as advertised and the art in the package was very nice.I was charged a processing fee from the sellers warehouse on top of shipping which I didn't like though. Extra $17 which made no sense. Wasn't duty as it came from Canada...😒

Magnifique coffret et musiques fidèles à l'original
Un très beau coffret qui contient les principales musiques du SDA. Le livret fourni avec apporte un petit plus et les vinyles sont impeccables. Les musiques sont magnifiquement interprétées et on se plonge vite dans l'univers. Une petite pépite à offrir à un fan de la saga.

Arrived in perfection condition
Still unopened in the plastic but arrived in the box really well wrapped. This purchase is the start of my new vinyl collection! Hopefully the most expensive piece I will ever buy... but well worth the money for any LOTR fan!
