Entirely unrelated news - more videos! It occurred to me today that it's been a while since I've done a skim of new postings, and here's what a search brought up:
Renunciation - not my favourite version. For one thing, you can't see Cel&Cur. Also, I don't really like Maksim Rakovsky's take on Finrod here. And I am a bigger fan of the more classical takes on music. However, this production shares your ideas on denoting characters with heraldic devices!
Minions - is this the only performance outside the V1 and V2 casts? I feel like Minions isn't a commonly performed/recorded piece. Fun fact: in the spirit of having Finrod/Sauron switching roles, this time Sauron is played by Maksim Rakovsky, who was Finrod in the last batch of videos! I don't think I am surprised with
this switch - he
did play a very excellent Cauchon in Eterius's
Joan of Arc production (the third of the Temple musical trilogy), and made a deliciously good villain.
