Title: Howard Shore synthesized
Product review: "Music from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" contains renditions of several pieces from Howard Shore's Oscar-winning score to the recent Peter Jackson film performed by the Hollywood Studio Orchestra & Singers. The original soundtrack release is far superior to this, mainly because the score of the current recording sounds like it was realized with synthesizers. The result is a much shallower, artificial sound. However, the choral portions are real human voices, and their rendition is sufficiently different from the original soundtrack to warrant attention. In particular, many of the vocals are much clearer and easier heard than on the film version.
