Program
.Film music never had approached so much to opera, the symphonic poem and the epic of the great stories. With the Wagnerian resource of the Leitmotiv taken to the extreme – with dozens of short musical themes associated with particular characters – Howard Shore joins us in the search for the ring.
With the trilogy of The Lord of the Rings, Howard Shore won three Oscar. The first, precisely for the music of The Fellowship of the Ring, the film that began the series. The moderation of Gandalf, the evil of Mordor, the ingenuity of the Hobbits, the strength of Boromir and Aragorn, the cruelty of Sauron, the lightness of the elves, etc. Each and every one of the characters is masterfully written in this grand orchestral poem, included the ring of power, which, how could it be otherwise, has its own theme music.
