Yes, the full concert was recorded by the Spanish Public TV ( TVE) and will be aired probably in summer 2017 and available on the webpage of the channel.

bollemanneke 3,342 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I'm excited because the scores were a huge disappointment for me and I hope that this concert work will somewhat redeem them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faleel 5,345 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 LOTR was orchestrated by Shore though, so there was not as much to do in that sense. And who says the spanish performance will be the same as the Philly one? 7 minutes ago, BloodBoal said: See, that's another thing I don't understand: why is it exciting to know a composer cares (or not) about one of his scores? Doesn't change my appreciation of said score. Well I would be happy, because it would mean KK was at least partially wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 To add on to the above comments, doing a 20min reduction of existing material isn't really any affirmation that Shore is particularly fond of these films/scores. Like BB said, they could easily be LOTR Stmphony style, in-verbatim renditions of OST material, cut and pasted together because of commercial demand. That doesn't say much about Shore's actual feelings towards the Hobbit films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 He was pretty much forced to because the Pope orchestrations needed to be removed before it could be played in a concert hall setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Agreed! They are very fine scores, all three of them. But they aren't in the same ballpark as the LOTR ones, and they aren't anywhere close to being classic scores. If they are among the best written in the last few years, it's because film music sucks now! In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is King! The LOTR scores are more than the sum of their parts. The Hobbit scores a bit less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
