A certain compositional disunity occurred to me on the soundtrack of the first Hobbit film on ... It lacks a bit of the harmonious flow in the overall balance. But this did so from the incomparable magic of that masterfully complex soundtracks of Lord of the Rings trilogy, which also bribed by a huge number of real earwigs under the leitmotifs. However, most (new) tunes the Hobbit soundtracks go, unfortunately, far less smooth in his ear. Was the sound of the ring trilogy breathed very operatic - and drew the bow almost to Wagner-style elements that Hobbit sounds come rather than typical film music thus: The ring-tones demanded quasi after the correspondingly strong images, while those the hobbits only seem to accentuate the existing in myriad cinematic excesses of the tricky 3D production. This music is therefore less independent - and thus falls but also in the film hardly noticeable. But without photos then clearly something is missing - and the first Hobbit Soundtrack CD one puts ultimately relatively quickly to the side ... Actually a pity because we had actually promised by Howard Shore more ... Curse elevated expectations !
