I have the Martin Shaw narration of The (Unabridged) Silmarillion. I have enjoyed it thoroughly. He has a great voice and I think he did very well with a 90% or better on pronunciation. It was fairly pricey...and I had to order it because the bookstores around me only carried the tapes.

I, also, have Rob Inglis narration of the (Unabridged) LotR. Ditto everything above. I got all three volumes of LotR at once because it was less expensive that way.

There is, also, Tolkien reading exerpts -- on tape for sure, don't know about cd's -- of which I have heard many great things. But, I don't have that -- yet...

There is the BBC version of (abridged) LotR, Rob Inglis narration of The Hobbit , and probably others which I know nothing about.
