1.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTING!, March 6, 2004

No, no, no! All this is are synthesizers (like the previous reviewer stated), re-creating the original album's songs, and not even very well! Its just bad! If you liked the original score from the film, do not waste your money on this!

2.0 out of 5 stars Shore Synthesized...Again, July 31, 2002

Chris Seeman (Novato, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Music inspired by the film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Audio CD)

This CD follows hard upon the release of a similar work by the Hollywood Studio Orchestra & Singers. Both CDs share two things in common: they are both performances of Howard Shore's score to "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," and they are both realized on synthesizers. Not terribly exciting. But if you feel you have to subject yourself to one of these CDs, I'd suggest the Hollywood Studio version. At least they use real human voices for the choral parts. The present CD doesn't even do that :(

1.0 out of 5 stars sounds like an electric piano/synth, October 7, 2008

This review is from: Music inspired by the film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Audio CD)

Not very well done, sounds like an amateurs work. Not really worth listening to. It sounds all synthesized, not real instraments.
