Lord
of the Rings Trilogy Has Best Film Soundtrack of All Time 5/31/05
Music from The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy has beaten scores from
Star Wars and Lawrence of Arabia to be voted the greatest film soundtrack
of all time.
Composer Howard Shore's dramatic music for the popular adaptations of
author JRR Tolkien's best-selling books, has topped a survey of favorite
film themes, by UK radio station Classic FM.
John Williams - who makes a staggering eight appearances in the top 40
- claimed the second place for his legendary Star Wars scores, followed by
Hans Zimmer's music for movie epic Gladiator.
Classic FM boss Darren Henley says, "Howard Shore and John
Williams are the (Wolfgang Amadeus) Mozart and (Ludwig Van) Beethoven of
their generation." |
