Reviews

". . . flawless . . . breathtaking . . . a real sonic spectacle . . ." - Michael Tumelty, The Herald, Glasgow UK

"complex, ingeniously evocative work. . ." - Zachary Lewis, The Plain Dealer

"Among the highlights of the six-movement [The Lord of the Rings Symphony] was 'The Prophecy,' featuring a lonely ney flute that evoked the other-worldliness of 5,000-year-old Middle-earth. The chorus swelled and climbed with urgent excitement in 'Concerning Hobbits,' and a solo fiddle added effervescence to 'The Shadow of the Past.' Heavy percussive drive on 'The Bridge of Khazad-dum' sweepingly suggested a history of classic cinema spectaculars. Emotional interludes included 'Hope and Memory' and 'The Riders of Rohan'; 'A Knife in the Dark' pulsated with 'Carmina Burana' excitement." - Variety
