Editorial Reviews

It's very hip to refer to Tolkien, given the success of Lord of the Rings on celluloid. But to be fair to David Arkenstone, he's always been inspired by the master fantasy author, so the release of this album just happens to be timely. A collaboration between composer-multi-instrumentalists David and Diane Arkenstone, the disc features many of David's trademarks as it incorporates influences as diverse as Aaron Copland, international sounds, and progressive rock. With both orchestral and ethnic instruments at their disposal, the composers and their Middle Earth Orchestra journey from grand symphonic peaks to delicate valleys, including the grand fanfare of "Field of Cormallen," the mysterious and ethereal atmosphere of "Palantir," and the lively, Renaissance-flavored dance of "Road to Rivendell." While this ode to Middle Earth is nothing groundbreaking within Arkenstone's extensive catalog, it's still an amiable, engaging album that will appeal to longtime listeners and intrigue many fantasy fans. --Bryan Reesman

~~~GOOD MUSIC TO BREATH IN & WANDER AWAY~~.......2007-01-07

When Music Makes me take a deep breath and sit back I know I have found some music to wander in my mind with. Music must create an image in my mind to keep me interested, allow me to escape on the notes and fly above everyday hum-drum. I can dance in a field of wildflowers and in the next moment soar high above mountians and feel one with all that is. This is the Music to do this with...

music of midle earth.......2006-12-07

This is the best Middle Earth Music I have ever heard. Better than Howard Shore. There is nothing like it. You really feel you are in Middle earth. Especially in "The Quest". You feel like you are actually wandering through wilderland.

Sometimes it takes a while for Arkenstone's music to catch with me but when it does, I can't get it out of my head. One of his many great efforts.

We love it!.......2006-02-25

Middle Earth CD is wonderful. We like the music better than the original Lord of the Rings movie music! And its not just me, my 11 year old twin daughters love to listen to it all the time. He created the music so well that you can just imagine yourself in Middle Earth.
