Game Of Thrones : Music From The HBO Series (2011)

"The music for Game of Thrones is by German composer Ramin Djawadi, who was a very late replacement for the show’s original choice, Stephen Warbeck. ... On this occasion I am extremely happy to report that his work here is excellent; for me, it’s the best score of his career to date, by quite a large margin, and indicates that, given the right sort of inspiration, he is more than capable of weaving together a tapestry of fine motifs and instrumental textures, all of it backed by a strong and powerful main theme."
