Christopher Lee is to narrate.
Caspar Reiff, one of the Ensemble's founding members and composers, gave this information at the German Tolkien Society's summer meeting. Quite a number of DTG (said society) members - including myself - are planning to travel to Copenhagen to hear the concert.
Any Europeans who wish for further information please contact me - or perhaps Rune...  |
Eh? Hobbit musical!?! Do tell!
Tolkien Ensemble has done an outstanding job of bringing Tolkien's songs to tunes. (I have finally forgiven them, at last, for their version of "Eomer's Song." They have done many, many more great works that make up for it.)
"Gondor, Gondor, between the mountains and the sea", and "Silver flow the streams" are magnificent. Truly magnificent. And their version of "The Ent and the Entwife" is incomparable.
