Collector's Edition (11)

Profile

Collector's Edition is a series highlighting rare, out of print or previously unreleased music from the archives of [a=Howard Shore]. Thousands of recordings have been uncovered representing documentary and film scores, concert pieces, chamber music, and songs that span 40 years of Shore's career. Access to some of this material requires expert restoration of analog tapes in which reels are carefully baked and calibrated, splices are repaired, and original balances are replicated or adjusted as needed to make this music available. Finds can be personal, nostalgic, unexpected or pure fun.
