5.0 out of 5 stars A tower of greatness., 15 Dec 2002
This marks the second in the Rings trilogy OST releases and like the first special edition release, it comes in a lovely high quality embossed leatherette hardback book-like case. The first was a deep red, this a dark shade of brown/green, with the enclosed booklet and enhanced cd, making for a rather lovely packaged piece of music.

And what music is contained within, i had thought that Howard Shore had outdone himself with the first part in the trilogy, but here for the Two Towers he has created a spine tingling work of spellbinding scope and majesty, with vocal help from the likes of Emilia Torrin and Elizabeth Frazer amongst others that ranges from etheral beauty to sweeping thunderous battle.

The superlative themes of the original are revisited here and then, and are added upon ten-fold: 'The Taming Of Smeagol' reprises the relaxed theme of the fellowship as a darker tone altogether as it slips into a 'Get Carter' reminiscent chime. To call 'The Riders of Rohan' celtic in sound would be a disservice as it is in another world altogether, 'The King Of The Golden Hall' echoes this. 'The White Rider' literally sounds like the second coming, as it rises to a magnificent triumphant peak of orchestral grandeur, 'Breath Of Life' is also lush in its scope of delivery. The soundtrack finishes proper with the heartbraking 'Samwise The Brave' which starts off as the happy ending you expect then dives into despair and doubt, leading straight into the staggeringly fantastic 'Gollum's Song' which words can barely desribe such a beautiful and quirky mix of sweeping strings and Emilia Torrin's unique vocal range.

These are but a few highlights from a considerably wonderful recording, and the bonus track only found on this limted edition, the unreleased and quite soothing 'Farewell To Lorien' from the extended version of the Fellowship, only adds to this, which makes this fantastic and fairly scarce limted edition quite worthy of you time and money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than FOTR!, 20 May 2003
By Al Crick (Southport, England) - See all my reviews
The FOTR soundtrack was excellent. It developed many themes for different places/characters, and also delivered good atmospheric music.
This soundtrack is better. Gandalf the White's theme is brilliant, as is Gollum's theme, which is only hinted at in FOTR.
Still present are the Fellowship and Shire themes, but now also there are the themes of Rohan and the Ents. The track: "Forth Eorlingas" is my personal faveourite as it encapsulates the climax of the battle of Helm's Deep that we all so fondly remember (Gandalf riding down the hill...)
If you like LOTR in any way shape or form, or just like listening to good music, then definately buy this soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two towers- tasteful or trash?, 13 Dec 2002
Well as thousands of other people bought the last soundtrack they must have thought it was pretty good- and they won't be disappointed with the sequel. This is a superbly conducted orchestral cd with brilliant choices from the movie, and the added extras are not to be missed. This is excelantlycomposed to bring the mood of middle earth to your cd player this xmas- lets hope you get transported to another world( where orlando rules as king!);-)
