Bilbo 3,709 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 That's a nice little lineup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Yes! Very surprised. The TSO never had much fondness for film music, so we've been deprived of such major concerts for years. Guess they're trying to appeal more to the masses this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothless 963 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Indeed, cool lineup ! For those interested, the trilogy will be performed here in France : http://www.cineconcert.com/seigneurdesanneaux/ I've already seen ROTK live in concert but it was the cinema cut. This time they will perform all three films in their extended cut ! Howard shore is also announced but I don't think he will be conducting.

Jim Ware 526 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Howard Shore will be present but Ludwig Wicki will be conducting. I am awaiting official confirmation of whether or not the extended editions are being performed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about my "ignorence" but, what is CAMI ? I'm a long time JW fan but not a long time member of JWFAN If proven true that would be quite disapointing… I've seen the production says on social media that it was indeed the extended cut : Somewhere on this page : https://www.facebook.com/Le-Seigneur-des-Anneaux-ciné-concert-Paris-132967433495393/?fref=ts Could you copy past here the response of the CAMI so I can ask the production ?

gkgyver 1,645 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Is that so much work? I assume the EE conductor scores exist already? I remember Doug saying the full scores were being engraved properly during CR and Book productions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Enjoy KK! FotR was my first Live Projection concert and it was a fantastic experience! I remember most strongly how flawless the performance of Tampere Filharmonia was. So wonderful was their playing that at times I forgot the orchestra was there and just focused on the film. I had to snap myself out of it a bit so I could keep my eye on the orchestra and what everyone was doing as that was a rare opporturnity to not only hear but to see this 200 strong ensemble creating this music.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Yes, thats the thing with these concerts. You occasionally need to remind yourself that there's an orchestra playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Makes me wonder how well would these concerts do if they just played the 3 hour score without any visuals. Would people still attend or is this combination the attraction of it. Personally I would have preferred if they had lowered the sound effects and dialogue even more than they did in the concert and give the music a truly undisputed role for these performances. Especially when it is woven so closely with the narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 The Rotterdam Phil sold out their 3 first Potter concerts so fast they scheduled the second film before the concerts of the first had even taken place.
