I purchased these CDs individually as and when they were originally released. I have to say that the Fellowship of the Ring is my favourite, by the way.

Rating: - Experience the film again and again through this soundtrack
While there are many fine film soundtracks, this is one that stands on its own as music.

While I'm not a classical music listener as a rule, as a fan of the film, this soundtrack is the perfect accompaniment to both work and relaxation.
This soundtrack is a must for any LOTR fan.

The theme songs to the films are especially good. 'Gollum's Song' by Emilliana Torrini is a beautiful, haunting melody, and 'Into the West' by Annie Lennox is a truly ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful
This is one of the best soundtracks I've ever listened to.. The music is brilliant and the song "Into the West" by Annie Lennox is beautiful.. You should definetly buy this if you love Lord of the Rings.. And if you don't like LotR.. Then you should buy it anyway.. It's brilliant..!
