Well, nothing against Emiliana, but I think that both Peter Jackson's LOTR soundtracks are horrible.

For a great LOTR soundtrack you must listen the tunes of 1972 Ralph Bakshi cartoon, even if the quality of animation is quite poor and the story finishes at the half.
 

I think there are few posts on RP I could ever disagree more wholy with than this... everything about Jackson's version far outstrips anything anyone tried to do in animation in the 70s... Jackson's trilogy is I think film's equivalent of the Eifel Tower, a modern masterpiece on so many levels (including the score)...

If I remember correctly, this was the song that played during the credits at the end. It may just be on the movie soundtrack however.

Who, Bruckner? Guess so, cause he's no longer with us.

For anyone who likes this kind of orchstral pieces:
Try some of Anton Bruckner 's Symphonies!!! Nr. 9 (his last one) is incredible... Well, the other ones too

Does anyone know who the vocalist is? I was sure it was Bjork when I saw the movie. I'd also like to hear the track (from the Two Tower's soundtrack) with Isabel Bayrakdarian, if I can slip in a request, Bill...Edited By apd at 7:03 pm on 3/03/2003

thought it was bjork. Don't really like it in any case. Saw lotr p2, gollum was pretty well done. However I didn't like the movie all that much, too many things compressed in too short of a time.

Not bad (bjork) I'd like to hear more, though.

Sounds like pretentious movie music to me. The soaring violins are much too much - when will they finally quit?

When this first came on (before I saw the song title), I thought "wow, this sounds like some kind of movie score".

Great flick... a friend and I were just the other day trying to figure out who that was singing at the end of the movie.

Sounds like a James Bond movie soundtrack in slow motion.

Wow! How cool is this. I know some folks will hate it, but I'm not one of them. Thanks for playing this beautiful and haunting song.
