I listened nearly all of the way through Martin Shaw's incredible readin of the first part of the Silmarillion [up to the chapter 'Of Men' and was delighted to hear his pronunciation of so many things I was iffy or wrong on.

Of course I am presuming his pronunciations are correct because he executes them with such skill and authority.

But I can not imagine that he did not take theime to either follow the pronunciation guideor ask CJRT or someone reffered by him.

Can't recommend those tapes [or discs] enough.
