#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Mystic Gardens is what it's called after Alan Titchmarsh, Charlie Dimmock and Tommy Walsh completely redesigned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannhauser 101 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Sorry you didn't enjoy it. This is pure Shore, with no Pope, after all! And Palace is a song-cycle (and a fine one at that) not an opera. Or are you saying you don't like music sung by just one voice? The choral works and Catania are nice, but the outstanding works for me are the song cycle and Six Pieces. Listened yesterday while walking through a beautiful forest. There's certainly as much if not more to enjoy here than on any of the Hobbit albums. Bravo Howard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,281 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 And the next Howard Shore concerti CD is coming, on Howe Records in the US and Sony Classical overseas No links yet for the US Howe Records version, but here's some links for the international Sony Classical version: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M0OACD0/ http://www.musicbox-records.com/en/cd-soundtracks/4131-two-concerti-ruin-memory-mythic-gardens.html Disco Stu and Bilbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo 3,709 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Nice! Really enjoyed a palce among the ruins. Glad he's releasing concert work when his film scoring has slowed down. Wait, it's out Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,281 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The international Sony Classical version is coming out in the UK on Friday the 13th, yes.

Bilbo 3,709 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 $51 is a steal! If it's out in Tower on Friday I'll pick it up, if not I'll wait until the end of the month and order from Amazon.

Bilbo 3,709 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 As long as he is putting music out I don't care whether it's film or concert work. Maybe he's just fed up with the movie business and directors in general especially when Cronenberg is retired and Marty has stopped using him. Doesn't seem the type to get involved with the MCU or DC trash either. Would still love love to see him get a Star War though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,983 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I think another fantasy series wouldn't do. I always thought his artistic success of Tolkien films came not from working on the huge blockbuster even movie but because he liked the book. You need to give Shore free reign and some artistic concept in order to get the best out of him. He needs to work with someone like Terrence Malick, even if that means his work gets rejected. His concert works are probably more enjoyable than than many of his film scores anyway. Can't wait to get this disc when it comes out on Friday.

KK 3,307 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 So do I. But Shore's is pretty good, as far as light-pop/rock albums go (which is more than these films deserve).
