What fantastic music this is? However, the biggest problem is I need another 10 hours to revisit!!! I have tried a few times to put one 80 minute disc together of highlights from the single albums and the complete recordings but have never quite got it right. Has anyone got any ideas? I appreciate it is a matter of taste! Favourite cue from each box set: PROLOGUE - ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL THEODEN RIDES FORTH THE LIGHTING OF THE BEACONS Too many to chose but these are superb! Anyone know when the fourth box set is coming out?    Posted:   Oct 11, 2009 - 6:16 AM     By:   pete   (Member) There's no fourth box set as such, but there is a book about to be released that contains a CD (or maybe 2 - I'm not totally up to speed) of unused and unreleased pieces. Keep an eye on http://themusicofthelordoftheringsfilms.blogspot.com/ for updates.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2009 - 9:24 AM     By:   Koray Savas   (Member) I thought there was supposed to be a Rarities Archives set?    Posted:   Oct 11, 2009 - 11:10 AM     By:   BrenKel   (Member) I thought there was supposed to be a Rarities Archives set? Yeah that is what I thought! Maybe Doug Adams can chime in on this one!    Posted:   Oct 11, 2009 - 11:23 AM     By:   Wedge   (Member) "The Rarities Archive" IS the CD that will be packaged with the book. Doug spent a long time combing through the recording sessions, and at one point believed that a DVD (or a box set of CDs) would be necessary to present all the material. But as alternate takes and compositions were sifted through and compared, it became apparent that those pieces with something truly new or extraordinary to offer would fill a single CD -- while making a beautiful, programmatic listening experience. The decision was finally made to package the CD together with the book, since the two are so complementary. Of course, the production wheels haven't stopped turning, so be prepared for anything to change ... but that's the current state of affairs, and it's looking pretty solid.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2009 - 12:15 PM     By:   BrenKel   (Member) Thanks for the update. Sounds like the book and the CD will be something special. Looking forward to this one.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2009 - 12:26 PM     By:   mastadge   (Member) Sounds great!    Posted:   Oct 12, 2009 - 12:18 PM     By:   ghost of 82   (Member) The Complete Recordings really bug me- there is just such a vast amount of material, it puts me off listening to it. I don't play any of them much at all- as a listening experience its just too much, too daunting. Maybe there is a point at which you just get too much stuff?    Posted:   Oct 12, 2009 - 12:56 PM     By:   Josh "Swashbuckler" Gizelt   (Member) I guess it depends on how many opportunities you have to listen to music during the day. Because of the nature of my job, I often have plenty of time to listen to music over the course of the day, and so for me, I tend to listen to the Complete Recordings more than I do the original soundtrack albums, which I will do over the course of three or four days. I always start at the beginning of Fellowship of the Ring and end at the conclusion of Return of the King; granted this is an investment, but it is really the only way to truly appreciate the scope of this work. That said, I still listen to the original albums from time to time because they have their own rewards. One of my favorite musical moments in the series occurs only in the theatrical version of Fellowship; it is the beautiful chorus heard as Galadriel waves to Frodo. This was replaced in the extended version with "Farewell To Lórien," which is what was incorporated into "The Fighting Uruk-Hai" on the Complete Recordings. "The Great River" is the only way to hear that piece. But under most circumstances, when I'm ready to listen to Lord of the Rings, it will be the whole enchilada, and for a few days. Each time I listen to them, I hear yet another thematic connection or variation that I hadn't noticed before.    Posted:   Jun 18, 2011 - 1:44 PM     By:   JackBlu78   (Member) I take it Fellowship of the Ring Complete recordings is now OOP? Looks like for a really MINT copy you'd have to pay a lot. http://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Fellowship-Complete-Recordings/dp/B000BNI90O/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1308426232&sr=1-3    Posted:   Jun 18, 2011 - 2:07 PM     By:   TheSeeker   (Member) Not out of print, but out of stock. This has been happening to each of the Complete Recordings from time to time...apparently, some ass-head at the plant still hasn't figured out how popular they are. They'll be available for the usual price before too long. Back-up information from Doug Adams: Q: I can't find some of The Complete Recordings sets at the moment. Have they been discontinued? A: No. The demand for these sets has continually surpassed expectations. From time to time, supplies run out. It's frustrating to all of us, I assure you. When supplies deplete, Amazon will inaccurately list the set as "discontinued." Secondary market dealers will often charge exorbitant fees for The Complete Recordings when Amazon posts this listing. I strongly advise potential buyers to exercise patience and avoid these unscrupulous sellers. Hope that clears this up! (Or is it: Hope this clears that up?) CK    Posted:   Jun 18, 2011 - 2:10 PM     By:   JackBlu78   (Member) That makes more sense I just was surprised to see that high of prices, hopefully people will be patient for more stock than to purchase at current third party seller prices.    Posted:   Jun 18, 2011 - 2:29 PM     By:   Wedge   (Member) EDIT: Christian beat me to it. But basically, yeah ... be patient, and they'll turn up again!    Posted:   Jun 19, 2011 - 12:59 PM     By:   BrenKel   (Member) They were all available in HMV Oxford Street in London a couple of weeks ago! Forgot I had started this thread! Have not managed to find another spare 10 hours to listen to it all since October 2009. Tend to listen to my edited 80min versions.    Posted:   Jun 19, 2011 - 1:04 PM     By:   Marcato   (Member) well you could do a cut and re-edit job - musch of the begining music is also heard in Parth Galen    Posted:   Jun 19, 2011 - 11:44 PM     By:   TheSeeker   (Member) Yeah, musch.    Posted:   Jun 20, 2011 - 1:15 AM     By:   Marcato   (Member) Much*    Posted:   Jun 20, 2011 - 1:16 AM     By:   Marcato   (Member) Bummer    Posted:   Jun 20, 2011 - 2:23 AM     By:   Mike West   (Member) Favourite cue from each box set: PROLOGUE - ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL THEODEN RIDES FORTH THE LIGHTING OF THE BEACONS Too many to chose but these are superb! Interestingly, I feel that the version of "The Lightning of the Beacons" on the original 1CD release is way better, much more effective!    Posted:   Sep 4, 2011 - 4:11 PM     By:   Sketchkid   (Member) Fellowship recently came back in stock (currently out of stock again, but the private seller price is back within reason). Did anyone notice the press release attached to the upcoming symphony release? "Sales of the coffee-table book The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films have been robust, and Warner Music will re-release each of the three Complete Recordings Series box sets in the coming months." So, as someone who is looking to buy the complete recordings... do you think WB will re-promote them at a lower price point, or will this simply mean they'll be back in stock at the normal $55-60 price?     General Discussion: THE LORD OF THE RINGS - COMPLETE RECORDINGS    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
