Recorded live over one very special weekend in 2023, Howard Shore: Anthology – The Paris Concerts presents highlights from key scores by the multi-award-winning Canadian composer.
- The Noble Wood (I Roderyn), a world premiere recording, is taken from the European premiere of this atmospheric piece arranged by the composer from themes written to represent the Woodland Elves in The Desolation of Smaug (the second instalment in The Hobbit trilogy). The track features on the forthcoming album Howard Shore: Anthology – The Paris Concerts, curated by the multi-award-winning Canadian composer himself.
- “I related to Tolkien’s work and his love of nature, which I also share,” says @Howard_Shore about the new track. “I wrote the music from my heart. ‘The Noble Wood (I Roderyn)’ from The Hobbit is for solo oboe and orchestra. Olivier Doise gives a stunning performance of the oboe solo with the outstanding Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, conducted with such grace by Ludwig Wicki. Their interpretation was beautifully captured in this recording from Radio France and Deutsche Grammophon.”
- The album was recorded during Radio France’s 2023 “Week-End Howard Shore”, it reflects the rich variety of the composer’s output, presenting highlights from such diverse scores as The Fly, Naked Lunch, Ed Wood, Crash, Esther Kahn and Eastern Promises, as well as The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, together with his concert piece for solo piano: Catania. The Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France is conducted by Ludwig Wicki and Bastien Stil, while Mike Schäperclaus conducts Le Balcon in the chamber works.
