Calling the experience mind-blowing doesn't quite do it justice. Cinema doesn't even remotely come close to this. We all know the LotR film music is great, but having it played live right before your eyes (and ears) is... epic, for lack of a better word. The 21st Century Symphony Orchestra, which performed the scores, did an absolutely outstanding job and so did the chorus. That, together with the superb acoustic design of the Lucerne Culture and Congress Centre, made you actually feel the music during the whole film. The intensity was just amazing. I actually had chills running down my spine when they performed The Breaking of the Fellowship at the end.
Apparently there were and will be performances in New York as well, so if you happen to live in that area, check out The Radio City LotR Concert and go experience it yourself if you can. If you live in Europe, consider a trip to Switzerland next year

Und da war dann noch der achte.
Sieben waren wild und der achte war zahm
Und der achte war's, der sie bewachte.

I'm so jealous, your one of a few lucky men who can experience such a thing.

There was a single 30-minute break in the middle, but that was it. The chorus obviously got some nice, long breaks during the performance, but the strings were playing non-stop, essentially.

It sounds like quite an experience though. I heard the same thing is going to be done in the Netherlands, but tickets are incredibly expensive.

I really don't do requests and my Arnor Soldier is not fit for BFME. Don't ask me for either.
