It was very well received, and a standing ovation lasted for about 10 minutes, which I think was longer than the Philly concert I attended last year with Williams. Also, like the film, it seemed to "end" more than once. Instead, I would've rather elongated the battle of Helm's Deep music, but would not have cut the soloist. I could have used a little less of the soloist during the "Two Towers" section, for I felt Shore felt a little too attached to this music. Stream ad-free or purchase CDs and MP3s now. While it was 2 hrs long, the pace was good (and this appeared quickened because of the multimedia element). Check out Saturn, Lord Of The Ring, Mercury The Winged Messenger by Manfred Manns Earth Band on Amazon Music. Most LOTR book covers are artwork by him as well, most famously his rendering of Orthanc). Regardless, his artwork was remarkable as always (Alan Lee was the primary art director for landscapes and sets for the LOTR trilogy. The multimedia display of original artwork by Alan Lee corresponded to music, representing either a new high or new low in the concept of programmatic music. Even though Howard Shore was unavailable to conduct, the concert went on without a hitch. There is no experience unlike the having 200+ live performers. If you haven't seen the LOTR symphony yet, you need to.
The concert was awesome, for those of you who weren't there.
