gkgyver 1,645 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 It was really literally a million to one shot signing Howard to score the LotR trilogy. The whole project was, but that especially. GerateWohl and Chen G. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole project was, but that especially. That was probably because both, Peter Jackson and Shore have both a background of brillant cheap horror movies that bound them together. Just listening to M Butterfly. That is a great score to listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,481 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Well, I just discovered that building an Howard Shore basic CD collection will be hard... some of his CDs are simply too rare and already hard to find. Ed Wood remastered 2013 CD, Hugo, The Aviator... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,074 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 The Aviator is a very good score and isn't hard to find for a good price. I recently purchased a new and sealed copy for less than £10, including shipping. The remastered Ed Wood doesn't contain anything essential, I'd say. Hugo just isn't that good, even though I wanted to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are definitely missing out on some important stuff (if it isn't already in that upper shelf): The Fly M Butterfly A Dangerous Method For the Cronenberg scores I would call these quite essential. In addition I got "The Cell" and "Videodrome" and " "eXistenZ" which are probably the opposite of essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the most essential missing from Bespin's collection are Looking for Richard, The Yards, and The Cell. The Cell in particular might not be to everyone's taste, but I find it magnificent, in its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victorrt 21 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I wonder why Howard Shore does not conduct concerts of LOTR music not even in the USA. I would love to see him conducting some orchestra with this music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen G. 3,949 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Yeah, he does conduct; but not the live-to-projection stuff; those are notoriously difficult to conduct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,481 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I think it's a trophy he won for his latest double-album "Music Inspired by Dune, vol. 9". He's unstoppable! We can laught at Zimmer, but before writing, let's say, more ambient "generic" music, he wrote totally respectable big orchestral scores for many many years.
