FOTR Symphony to Film Winnipeg Concert Review
-
Zack writes: The FOTR with a live symphony and choir on April 24th in Winnipeg, Canada was amazing. They performed everything in the movie from loud themes to background music in audio scenes. This is supposedly the first of the North American tour. If anyone else is able to see this tour don’t be disappointed that sound effects are turned down (this created a few awkward moments, mostly just at the Farwell party and battle scenes) and that there are sub titles because what you hear is mostly the symphony. The Conductor, Ludwig Wicki was the first conductor to perform the FOTR music along live with the full movie just earlier this year and has worked with Howard Shore in preparation. The soloists sang very well, including a 10 year old boy singing the male soprano solos. Overall it was very well done and I hope they come out with the Two Towers soon.
