An intimate look at a large-scale oeuvre: It is not only with his breathtaking scores for Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy that Howard Shore has immortalized himself as a master of epic film music in the cinematic pantheon. Cinematic dramas such as “The Silence of the Lambs,” “Philadelphia,” “Se7en,” or “The Departed” also owe their impact in no small part to the musical sensitivity of the Canadian composer, who has been honored with multiple Oscars and Grammys for his work. For his 80th birthday on October 18, 2026, Warner Classics honors Howard Shore with a very special album. On this release, his large-scale oeuvre condenses through the lens of a solo piano into an intimate close-up: “Howard Shore – A Piano Tribute.”
