From: "Reggie Bautista" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>That is a GREAT choice. One of the things that made an impact on me upon watching LotR:TT was the music. God knows how much damage a popular-market-oriented producer would do by pushing for a rock soundtrack (a la Queen's "Flash Gordon", for example). But I was not disappointed; the Wagnerian touches to this soundtrack not only enhance the movie experience of TT; it also makes the movie's music stand out as a major piece of recording work.

If you're looking for a classical soundtrack, right now, Howard Shore's score for _Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers_ is my favorite (if you leave off Gollum's song). The music is dark, broody, powerful, very cleverly orchestrated, and will probably get played a lot by professional orchestras once a suite is released (ala "Suite from _Altered States_" by Corigliano, although LotR:TT is much more accessible).
Haven't you noticed a decline in symphonic scores recently? This really turns me off about some movies.
And here's a controversial one for my final recommendation. Did you ever watch the short-lived Babylon 5 spinoff, Crusade?Yep! I have mixed feelings about the show, but I always found the music intriguing. Thanks for the recommendations!
