Addendum: I hope those bozos who clapped two minutes into the concert suite WHEN IT WAS PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT THE PIECE WAS NOT YET OVER encountered a swarm of angry bees.
Revisiting this for the first time in quite a while. I'd forgotten what a great score it was, its a rousing yet touching adventure score from Debney the likes of which I hadn't heard from him in quite some time.
Even though LLL have given us 2CD's of material, I don't find that it ever feels overwhelming in the way that I do with Shore's Hobbit / LOTR.
