Glorious music that should have sounded better on CD.......2007-07-01

Like many of the other reviewers, I was first exposed to Johan De Meij's "Lord of the Rings" in high school. My band had recently won 'Honor Band' with this the original composition, less the more difficult "Gollum" movement. I soon became very fond this moving work, and was excited when I learned of an orchestral transcription recorded on CD with the London Symphony! I had very high hopes for this CD.

The LSO's recordings are generally above average, and this one is no different. The orchestrations are well-done, and the conducting and musical performances are solid. However, I've a particular problem with the way the CD 'sounds'. The mixing engineers decided to limit the loud parts of the music. When the brass (especially the trumpets) are in full force, this volume-limiting is very noticeable, and it detracts from my enjoyment of the music. Also, the loudest parts of the piece seem scratchy with too much treble. I would have preferred a more 'natural' sound, with the widest range of musical dynamics - as if I were listening to the orchestra LIVE. Obviously, the engineers had a different idea.

Conclusion: Fantastic music, performed well - but held back by technical issues that detract from the overall experience.

Amazing!.......2006-09-03

I first was introduced to this symphony during my sophomore year of high school, spring of 1997, when my high school Wind Emsemble played movements I, II, and V. I have loved this music every since, and it's the reason I picked up LOTR to read in the first place. My favorite part is the chorale in "Hobbits" because in the original wind orchestra arrangement, the chorale is played mostly by the clarinet section - of which I was a part. I remember that we had a guest conductor, and he was so moved by our performance that he was crying by the time we were done.

I searched for years to find recordings of the wind arrangement, with no luck. Then I found this recording, and I love it! While the wind arrangement will always come first in my heart, I appreciate and love the way this amazing piece was reorchestrated to include the stringed instruments. It did take me a few listens to get used to the new orchestrations, but it's still absolutely beautiful, and it give me a thrill every time I listen to it - especially the chorale in "Hobbits," you can just see Sam and Frodo struggling up Mount Doom!

Please be aware of what you're reviewing!!!.......2006-01-24

First and foremost I would like to advice all reviewer's to understand what they are reviewing before writing any reviews. I am both a musician in a symphony orchestra and wind orchestra. To me each ensemble brings something different to the scene and are special in their own way. In my opinion, Mr Johan De Meij and Mr Howard Shore are fine composers. And their pieces are superb in their own perspective. De Meij's piece was first written for the wind orchestra medium. I've played pieces by Mozart, Saint Saens, Rossini, Stravinsky etc, still this piece is hands down one of my favourites. When transcribed for the symphony orchestra, the piece became different, in a good way, due to the different instrumentation. For the benefit of others, this piece and its transcription were composed and made long before the first LOTR movie hit the cinemas. Also do note that writing music for film and music for performance on stage are two different things altogether. You can't take this piece and fit it into the film and likewise you can't take the whole film score and perform on stage. They were meant for 2 different purposes. So people, please know and understand what you're reviewing before writing anything. Reviews are meant to help too and not just to criticize. If you love music and want to listen to something different, i encourage you to get this cd. But do remember to clear your mind of Howard Shore's score before listening. I have already given the reason why. This is De Meij's interpretation of what he feels about LOTR. It is honest, superb, magnificent and evoking in its own way. Five stars.

Stop comparing de Meij to Shore.......2005-05-09

This work is fantastic. I cannot, however, get over the people who feel the need to compare this to Howard Shore's movie score. They were written for two completely different idioms; One to be a stand-alone work that tells the story on its own to be performed by a wind band in a concert hall, the other to lend drama and emotion to the story on screen. Both are great music in their own rite.

I can't say anything for this particular performance from this cd as I have not heard it, but I know the de Meij's Symphony No. 1 well and it has to be one of the finest works in the wind band literature.

Wonderful.......2005-01-13

I first heard of this wonderful Symphony when I was in 10th grade and we played "Hobbits" number V in band. I loved it as soon as I heard the first note and soon got this CD. It is fantastic and brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Now in College in band, We are playing the Entire Symphony at our Spring Concert and I can't wait. It came before the movies, and is perfectly based on the books. Get this CD if you are a lover of Classical music, Lord of the Rings, or both!

Unique music.......2007-04-16

This CD contains three pieces of music, the primary one is a symphony composed for the three Lord of the Rings books. This album was composed before the movies by Peter Jackson, and so bear no resemblance their soundtracks. The music is classical in form, but modernist in genre. All the music on this disc is similiar to the compositions of other 20th century classical artists such as Philip Glass, Igor Stravinsky, and Charles Ives in the unusual melodies, lack of consistent emotion, and complex tunes. This music is absolutely different from the score used in the LOTR movies; which are evocative, dramatic and simple in tune. The compositions on this disc on the other hand, are almost impossible to hum due to their complexity. Overall, the disc is worth listening to. The music is interesting but not great.

A symphonic wind band score for "Lord of the Rings" .......2006-10-02

Dutch Composer Johann de Meij takes a turn at interpreting Tolkien's epic series with his 1988 "Sympony No. 1: The Lord of the Rings," a 5-movement work for symphonic wind band that focuses on key characters and events of the story (Gandalf, Lothlorien, Gollum, Moria / Khazad Dum, and Hobbits). Expertly performed by the 65-piece Ensemble Vents et Percussion de Quebec and conducted by Rene Joly, this version of "The Lord of the Rings" is polished, dramatic and full, exploring the same sorts of emotional extremes as Howard Shore's version (albeit at only forty-five minutes, fewer of them). This is a fine composition in its own right, however. In his delightful use of saxophone for Gollum's theme, Meij displays hints of Edvard Grieg's fiesty and playful creativity in interpreting Scandinavian myths. And with his focus on woodwinds and brass for conveying character and tone, Meij's compositional style reminds me of Joseph LoDuca, the prolific soundtrack composer for the "Hercules" and "Xena" TV series. So if you like this CD, you'll probably enjoy LoDuca's work as well. This album also includes two other selections: "Spartacus: A Symphonic Poem" by Jan Van Der Roost (similar in tone to Meij's symphony), and "A Barrie North Celebration" by Andre Jutras. Fine pieces all! High school band was never like this! Other takes on the Lord of the Rings trilogy include "Music Inspired by Middle Earth" by David and Diane Arkenstone and "The One Ring: Music Inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings" by Kevin Pearce and James Prior. And for great band music of the marching variety, try anything by John Phillip Sousa--truly a master of his genre!

Awesome!.......2005-06-15

This is a good recording of a great work! I played The Lord of the Rings Suite in college band and I've been addicted to it ever since! Like some previous reviewers, I do not agree with De Meij's interpretation of the story line, but he is an artist using artistic liscence. The music itself ranges from majestic to mysterious. The dynamics are well-conveyed by the performers. I love the Smegol section with the E flat clarinet slinking around like the creature it portrays. Listen to all the different tone colors demonstrated by the band instruments. Some of these instruments are uncommon in orchestral scores, so it was fun to hear the different sounds! The performance is good, but the recording acoustics are dead. I also applaud the producers for including the other two works on this recording. Both make great companions for the LOTR Suite.

Excellent music, horrible interpretation.......2004-01-21

Having read the Lord of the Rings a few times and being fairly learned in Tolkien's literature, I was disgusted when I heard de Meij's interpretation of the book. The music itself was pleasant, especially considering it was first symphony, I enjoyed that part. It just his interpretation! He paints Gollum as a flat malignant villian as opposed to the complex and pitiful creature that Tolkien writes of; he portrays the hobbits as a grandiose people with triumphant brass and forte phrases-even the most successful of the hobbits, i.e. Frodo et all, were anything but grandiose; and with his piece on the Elves, Lothlórien, he captures the joy and beauty of them, but leaves out the sorrow that Tolkien repeatedly mentions (He calls them beautiful yet sad, de Meij describes them as just beautiful). The interpretations really caught me off guard, especially after listening to them. I cannot give this a poorer rating because the music is very commendable. His use of woodwinds and brass definitely creates a mood with well-formed phrases and interesting rhythms; its just his interpretation sucks.

Poor.......2003-09-05

No one can deny the scope and power of De Meij's visionary work for wind ensemble. This is truly one of the gems in the literature. However, this performance is singularly bad. The balance is unforgivable, the precision is nearly nonexistent, and it gets worse from there. Most other recordings are out of print, but De Meij recommends one by the Amsterdam Wind Orchestra, if you can find it. Whether or not you can find another recording, this one is a waste of your money. You'd do better to try and hum it.

Disappointing.......2004-10-31

A mostly music compilation that sounds like a creative mixing genius put it together. Saddly, the wedding entrance march is sung in German (I think). Some of the music is a little "thin" instead of being "full bodied". The wedding exit march will put listeners to sleep. I wish listening samples had been available or I would have saved the money.

Album Description

Johan de Meij has written one of the most beautiful and accurate pieces ever in his "Lord of the Rings". This depiction of the mythical middle-world details the life, times, and adventures of the Fellowship. Marvel as Johan brings The Hobbits, Gollum, Lothlorien, Gandalf and a Journey in the Dark, to musical life through Col. Bourgeois' incredible baton. Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite" is one of the few works that could be paired with "Lord". Please place Thomas Knox in the same sentence with Larry Odoms, because this transcription squarely places them both at the top of their crafts. The energy and emotion of this outstanding band clearly demonstrates that the wind band genre is equal to that of the orchestra.
