This was definitely an unforgettable experience. The sheer power and majesty of Howard Shore's masterful composition is truly an amazing thing to experience live, especially accompanying the movie itself.
There were times when the music drowned out the dialogue, although I've absolutely no complaints there, it's more of a bonus really as there was subtitles thoughout, and it's was never meant to be mixed evenly anyway seeing as the primary reason for the show was the music itself.
Can't wait for The Two Towers Next year, especially the for the solo violin led Rohan themes ;)
