Howard Shore and the LOTR Symphony - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hey all. I recently returned from my awesome trip to Columbus, OH where I got to see Howard Shore conduct the LOTR Symphony. I recommend trying to make this show if it is coming to a city near you (you can check howardshore.com for the schedule). Or, if it's not coming to a city near you, but your city has an orchestra... write them and request that they look into doing that. FredO of the fan club boards did that in Pittsburgh, and they took his advice. He now has a bunch of free tickets for the show!

Anyway, I wanted to report some stuff that Mr. Shore mentioned at his CD signing yesterday...
When asked if he was going to record the symphony to be released on CD, his answer was "yes"
He also said that they are looking into recording the whole scores for all three movies. He said that FOTR would take 3 CDs, while TTT and ROTK would take 4 CDs! Wow, I hope they do this, because I would buy it for sure!

Has anyone else been to one of these concerts? It truly was an experience. Many audience members were crying... it was beautiful! Howard Shore was truly a delight, and quite a sport as you can see here - http://www.ladyofrohan.com/shore1.JPG
Haha!
My favorite thing was that the symphony includes much music that wasn't recorded onto the sountracks, including the ever-loved "Shadowfax theme"!!!

Well, that's my report/news brief!
And here's a group of happy fans - http://www.ladyofrohan.com/shore2.JPG
