What I found interesting was not the information about upcoming CDS but Shore's comments concerning the choices he made when writing the score.

His purpose, he says, is to be a kind of emotional guide to help viewers know how they should feel toward the characters and scenes. This is useful if you don't already know, or don't care if you ever know, your Elrond from your Eomer.

Clearly he had in mind people who had not read the books.
His thoughts on Wagner are interesting also, for they are musically-based rather than mythologically based. I would have thought Wagner was chosen for his relationship to the old Germanic mythologies.
