On the heels of Varèse Sarabande’s Deluxe Edition of How to Train Your Dragon (2010) comes this 2CD set of John Powell’s magnificent symphonic score to the 2014 sequel, How to Train Your Dragon 2.

Beloved by critics and audiences alike, the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy was produced by DreamWorks Animation, based on a book by Cressida Cowell. Written and directed by Dean DeBlois, the second film continues the story of a young dragon hunter, Hiccup, who befriends rather than kills a dragon, Toothless, by introducing Hiccup’s mother (voiced by Cate Blanchett) and a formidable villain, Drago (Djimon Hounsou).

John Powell created a glorious, Academy Award-nominated score for the first Dragon film, and continued his style for the sequel: gloriously symphonic, enhanced with Irish instrumentation, it is deep and rich in the classical tradition while conveying emotion and nuance for modern audiences, particularly around the joy of flight. As with the first film, Icelandic singer Jónsi collaborated with Powell and contributed vocals to selected tracks. New to the second film are performances by the Scottish bagpipe group, Red Hot Chili Pipers.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 was released as a single CD at the time of the film. Varèse Sarabande’s Deluxe Edition expands the program to two discs, including several demo tracks, with new liner notes by Tim Greiving interviewing the director and composer.

Limited to 2,000 copies

Mal wieder die Frage, ob die Zusätze da lohnen. Wenn nur, bei Interesse, zu Studienzwecken.

[Csongor]

How to Train Your Dragon 2 ist mein Favorit aus der Reihe.  

Das Album von Sony beinhaltet bereits alle Highlights und ist zudem gut zusammengestellt. Ich sehe da keinen Mehrwert für mich gegenüber dem Album. 

[Sebastian Schwittay]

Eine Edition für die Partiturleser (die Omni-Partitur erscheint quasi zeitgleich). 

[peter-anselm]

Toller Score, der allerdings schon in der nicht expandieren Fassung als orchestraler Overkill daherkam. Insofern gut für alle die mehr wollen und Entwarnung für mein Portemonnaie

Gilt für mich auch; die regulären Alben von beiden Teilen sind mit 70+ Minuten gut bestückt und reichen mir vollkommen aus

Die Deluxe Edition ist seit heute auch in CD-Qualität bei Download-Anbietern wie 7Digital und Qobuz zum Kauf erhältlich.
