After the first publication as a set of 2 a few years ago I thought this Caspar Reiff production can not be beat. But the now released 4 CD Set is Tolkien in the truest and most positive sense of the crown: The music is still stunning, the right accompaniment to the book, you immediately feel like in Middle-earth. And as the voice of Christopher Lee, who played in "The Lord of the Rings" to Saruman - Phew, that's partly true scary! Even the accompanying book is class, with all the poems from "The Lord of the Rings" and especially the drawings of the Queen Margrethe of Denmark a unique collector's copy. No question, the set takes pride of place in my collection .....
