[Luke Skywalker 1,796]

God just let LOTR rest in peace!

[Ollie 1,059]

Sounds like fun, although a concert that long might be a bit tedious to sit thru.

And yes, I know there will be intermissions.

[Jay 37,373]

God just let LOTR rest in peace!

What? They are amazing scores, and this concert is a pretty special event. The more popular these concerts are, the more future concerts of complete scores set to picture we'll get

[QMM 4]

Wow

[Jay 37,373]

Looks like tickets range from $54 to $150

Why is that?

And yes, I know there will be intermissions.

It's quite compact compared to a Wagner opera.

[Luke Skywalker 1,796]

you guys are really biased....

I'm just reflecting what people said about the Star Wars musical journey thing...

We hare having too many LOTR things in very short time. I dont mind, its great, but really not a sole beign is complaining about overmarketing, which certainly, it is.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

The LOTR scores were never anything amazing to me. I've never even listened to the complete recordings. That's a lot of music to get through, and it's all serious and epic. I can't just sit back and enjoy a nice listen to Khazad-Dûm.

[Marian Schedenig 8,211]

I'm just reflecting what people said about the Star Wars musical journey thing...

And my reaction to them was the same.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

I just read the article. It's not even conducted by Howard Shore.

[Trent B 337]

Sad...very sad.

It's okay, don't cry now.

[Wojo 2,453]

The Star Wars musical journey was six films of music condensed down to 90 minutes of music, complete with narration to describe the story.

This is a complete 3+ hour score played in its original runtime. It's a far superior concept, if you have the patience to stay awake and involved in the whole event. I watched the LOTR Symphony after a long day of work, and could not stay awake for the entire thing. It would have been better to take off, but that's life.

[Trent B 337]

Hopefully there will be intermissions (or breaks) during that 3 hour period. Those people are gonna hate life if they have to sit in their seats for 3 hours with out a break.

[Jay 37,373]

I'd assume there's an intermission the same place there is on the EE edition of the film - directly after the Council of Elrond scene, when Pippin says "Great, where are we going?"

[Wojo 2,453]

To the bathroom!

[Ollie 1,059]

I 'm pretty sure there is going to be an intermission.

[Jay 37,373]

Tickets bought! I'll be in the first mezzanine for the Saturday show!

[Ollie 1,059]

Well N.Y. is a little bit out of my way so I'll have to pass.

But enjoy yourself and have a good time. I'll just have to pull out my CR of Fellowship.

[John Crichton 4]

Ambitious. Now if they did something like this in, say, Dallas, I'd think about going.

[Charlie Brigden 7]

Ambitious. Now if they did something like this in, say, Wales, I'd think about going.

[John Crichton 4]

Yes, I'm going to visit there one day too.

Wow. I can only just scratch the surface of this, and I'm trying very hard not to automatically switch to a comment about certain recent batty scores, but a few things: What about the Hobbit music? That's lovely stuff. The Rivendell also gives a nice respite. And the best material is really great.

Well yes I do listen to the Shire music on occasion. Very lovely.

[John Crichton 4]

Considering how much is in the score the FotR OST is extremely well put together. I enjoyed listening to it for years. Only one statement of the History of the Ring theme is the main problem I had with it.

But if you like these scores you just have to get the CRs. There's really no other option.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

I have the CR's, all three of 'em.

[Jim Ware 526]

I just read the article. It's not even conducted by Howard Shore.

And? Ludwig Wicki has considerable experience of conducting Fellowship Live and will be conducting The Two Towers Live in Switzerland next March.

Hopefully there will be intermissions (or breaks) during that 3 hour period. Those people are gonna hate life if they have to sit in their seats for 3 hours with out a break.

I 'm pretty sure there is going to be an intermission.

The intermission is after The Council of Elrond.

It is no overmarketing no certainly not. it is fresh and it is new.. star wars is old and overplayed.

What they are doing now is riding on the Howard Shore LOTR Symphony wave.. poor luacsfilm.

[Richard Penna 3,695]

I'm going to the London one in March, with the LSO itself - should be very cool.

Poor Lucasfilm?!

If George wants it, it's done. The man deserves no sympathy for his crimes against film music.

[Jim Ware 526]

It's actually the LPO. See you there!

Because they never ever did a Star Wars concert before, right?

Oh wait....

[Charlie Brigden 7]

And?

[Joe Brausam 215]

I've been hoping Fellowship Live would come to NYC - I'll be going!

[Koray Savas 2,251]

I've been hoping Fellowship Live would come to NYC - I'll be going!

Lucky you live so close! I had to drive up from MD to see Hans and James! Still can't believe you were a few people behind me lol

[Joe Brausam 215]

Haha, yeah! I remember that when I went to Towson it was a 3 hour drive between my home and there - on a good day. And NY is still another 2 hours from me by car, slightly less by train. You probably put in a good 6 or so hours!

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

If they ever play the complete score to PS/SS, don't forget your tape recorder.

[Jeshopk 8]

The article says "Nothing quite like this has been done before. "

The entire score to ET was performed live to picture as well for the 20th aniversary release.

[Luke Skywalker 1,796]

Conducted by the composer himself

Though with Voice and SFX.

On a side not i would have prefered to attend to the ET 20th premiere than this concert. Just for seeing Williams live!

[Romão 2,274]

The LSO performed the full Alexander Nevsky score (not the cantata) maybe 15 months ago.

[Jim Ware 526]

The LSO performed the full Alexander Nevsky score (not the cantata) maybe 15 months ago.

Yup. Back in March. It was very loud.

[Marian Schedenig 8,211]

The entire score to ET was performed live to picture as well for the 20th aniversary release.

But with sounds, as has been said. As I understand it, the FOTR performance will be without film sound?

Was that Nevsky score without sound? I saw Ashkenazy conduct excerpts from Ivan the Terrible live to the movie a few years ago, and it was excellent, but they kept the film dialogue.

[Romão 2,274]

Wow! I'd love to see something like that live one day.

[Marian Schedenig 8,211]

That doesn't answer my question though.

[Romão 2,274]

I did not attend. I know they projected the movie simultaneously, but I don't know if it was without sound

[Joe Brausam 215]

Is anyone here planning on going to the Friday night performance of Fellowship Live in NY in October? I'd like to be there but I have no one to come with me and I'd rather not buy a single ticket and have to sit alone..

[Johnnyecks 33]

Anyone going to this?

http://www.radiocity.com/events/lord-of-the-rings-1009.html

It's FoTR performed live to the film on Oct. 9th and 10th.

Pretty decent seats avail from $84 - 150 each.

Anyone going?

[Joe Brausam 215]

I just replied to your thread on FSM.
