Ludwig Wicki, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France: Howard Shore: Anthology – The Paris Concerts 2CD

"In my opinion, film music is one of the rare territories where a composer can write freely, providing that he chooses the films and subjects that suit his personality." This is the ideology that Howard Shore, one of the most innovative film composers, has embraced for more than 40 years. This album provides the perfect synthesis of three Paris concerts, which aimed to define the mysterious contours of the composer’s multifaceted output.
