The Lord of the Rings is one of most successful trilogies in film history. Directed by Peter Jackson and based on the popular J.R.R. Tolkien novel of the same name, The Lord of the Rings earned a total of 17 Academy Awards®. Three of those awards were for the music that was featured in the films, which enjoyed wide commercial success and collectively has sold seven million copies.
Rhino returns to Middle-earth with the second soundtrack from the Trilogy. The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers - The Complete Recordings is presented as a three-disc reactivation of the 2006 box set featuring the entire score from the extended versions of the film.
The music for all three films was composed, orchestrated and conducted by Howard Shore. The music he wrote for The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers was performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra with contributions from the choirs: the London Voices and the London Oratory School Schola boy’s choir. The album was certified gold in the U.S., the U.K. and Canada and won the Grammy Award® for "Best Score Soundtrack Album".
