#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Pretty disappointing actually. A 53 minute infomercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yeah, its great to hear Shore talk about his work naturally. But in that case (the LOTR symphony DVD), he didn't sound too happy or excited about doing the DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The still of that video makes it look like she has no nose. Or she does, but something is happening to it like Neo's mouth during the interrogation in The Matrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 That came with one of the extended editions, right? With TTT iirc. Nah, there really isnt much for a conductor to interpret with film scores. The tempo is decided by the film itself after all. If conductors were just glorified metronomes, we wouldn't need conductors. Joe Brausam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was rather painful to watch the first time I saw that bonus DVD but hey at least he got to present his own music. Even though not in the most liveliest manner.

Bilbo 3,709 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Am I the only one who doesn't think DOS sounds all that different from AUJ?I don't hear much of a difference myself. AUJ is "louder" alright but aside from that it's fine. There are new styles and themes we've never heard from Middle-Earth before but it all fits for me. If it hadn't been printed on the front cover I'd never have known there was a change in the way the music for DOS was handled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has only been screened once (2009 in New York) and hasn't been seen since. I believe the original intention was to include it with the Rarities had they been DVD based.

Kühni 485 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 OK, I've had it. I'm finally getting a time machine and will go back to 2004-05 and smack some sense in these peoples' heads. Were they thinking, while drinking, that we would not cherish every single morsel of music that could be unearthed and presented for the CRs and RA? And now this...THEY ALREADY HAD A DVD TO PUT THE ENTIRE MAKING-OF ON, SEVEN YEARS BEFORE THE RA CAME OUT! Can I still put the blame on Conrad Pope, somehow? I mean, what the blazin' daisies?!? And what, pray tell, are YOUR sources for all of this, young Master Ware? It's awfully tempting to come over to London and riffle through your documentation, tbqh... Or I'm gonna send you my doctors' bills for these continuing aneurysms you are causing me! A good weekend to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,359 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Correct, yes, I went to the RCMH Fellowship concert in Oct 2009 and the Two Towers one in Oct 2010. Was so sad the planned ROTK concert never happened I've still never seen ROTK live (I missed the Lincoln Center ones last year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love re-watching this documentary. Such great intimate insights, and Shore feels so comfortable and casual in it. I love PJ joking about not winning the battle or the war. And Shore playing with an action figure. Plus a nice little 'where they began' moment at 7:54 in part 2, when you see Steven Price, now an Oscar winner, working behind the scenes all those years ago. Nice little callback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Love the bit where Jackson asks for a piece out of a nightmare, then Shore plays it and PJ goes “yeah, it has a certain nightmarish quality“. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
