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

I went to see Howard Shore last night at the Sydney Opera House. All I can say is: OMG! and: Go if you have the chance!

It was truly incredible to see the man himself conducting his own creation. I was very moved by the entire concert and sat with tears in my eyes for most of it. I always find Gollum's Song very poignant, as well as Into the West and to hear them live just gave me goosebumps. My favourite movements were the first and second...I couldn't help but hear lines of dialogue in my mind when specific parts were played.

It was also very cool to see people of all ages there.

I'd love to go again!! Any other Sydney people who have seen it?
