Classic FM has a audio interview up with Howard Shore concerning his work for The Lord of the Rings and also The Hobbit.
From Classic FM:
Howard Shore has written over 80 film scores, including the block busting Lord of the Rings trilogy. He spoke to Classic FM about the four year journey it took to compose the epic films and about taking inspiration from author JRR Tolkien’s love of nature.
So successful has his relationship with LOTR director Peter Jackson been, the pair have been reunited to deliver the forthcoming Middle Earth blockbuster (and Lord Of The Earth prequel), The Hobbit.
Thanks to message board member Silmaril for the heads-up.
Howard Shore’s classic score for The Lord Of The Rings film trilogy is being released on September 13th on Howe Records. Titled The Lord Of The Rings Symphony: Six Movements for Orchestra & Chorus, the double-album is a live recording of a concert in Lucerne Switzerland in February of this year. Bavarian Radio will first broadcast the album in its entirety on September 4, 2011. More..
