5.0 out of 5 stars The music and atmosphere of Middle Earth, 4 Feb 2004
By Sally-Anne "mynameissally" (Leicestershire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
A couple of weeks ago I heard someone telling a friend that they loved reading Lord of the Rings but always skipped the songs and poetry sections and especially detested the Tom Bombadil chapter. The friend said they'd felt the same way until they heard the Tolkien Ensemble singing the songs and verse, after which they had a completely different view of Tolkien's verse. I was intrigued. I've always been very fond of Tolkien's poetry - even had a book with just the poetry, because I liked it so much. Amazon supplied me with this CD and now that I've listened to it a few times, I'm happy to recommend it. It's very good. I was reminded of all sorts of music including opera, sea shanties, rustic folk songs, Morris dancing. It sounds very English and seems exactly right somehow; very appropriate for what, after all, Tolkien intended as a myth - a heroic legend for England, as he put it: "bound up with its tongue and soil".

It was a master stroke, choosing Christopher Lee to play Saruman in the films and, I agree with an earlier reviewer, it was a brilliant idea to recruit him to recite and even sing! (with a voice like that, why am I surprised that he can sing?) for this CD. If they could have persuaded Treebeard himself to sing "Treebeard's Song", I'm sure he would have sounded very like Christopher Lee. Just wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding on so many levels!, 9 Nov 2003
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Caspar Reiff and Peter Hall and their Tolkien Ensemble are back conjuring magick! And this time with a white wizard aiding them. It was a stroke of genius to capitalise on the multi-talents (often ignored) of the wonderful Chris Lee. The attempt to put Tolkien's poetic works to music is an inspired undertaking, but to bring in Lee (the films' Saruman) was brilliant choice all around. He has a a beautiful voice (and if you think he cannot sing, you certainly missed The Wickerman!), that lends itself well to poetry and song. His readings are breathtaking, chilling and work so well with the moody, atmospheric scores. It beautiful, provocative and a must for the lovers of the films, books, the Tolkien Ensemble and a gem for lover of Christopher Lee.

5.0 out of 5 stars The music made real, 5 May 2003
By Agnete Kirstine Jensen "Leriannis" (Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Have you ever wondered, how those verses and rhymes appearing in Lord of the Rings might sound in reality?

Tolkien Ensemblet have tried to translate some of those great verses and stories into music, and they have done a great job! With help from Christoffer Lee they put this special world a bit closer to the Tolkien Universe, hitting the listener hard with funny twists and scary moods depending on the choosen song.

This CD is a great continuation from their first two CDs - also with a lot of Tolkien's verses.

Perhaps it might not fit all of the listener's pictures of the various songs, but it is definitly close - close enough that a Tolkien fan should not be without a copy!
