One ring to rule them all: JRR Tolkien reads LotR poem

[Morrus]

Here’s Christopher Lee.

I have a set of four CDs with Tolkien and his son reading songs, poems and text from the various works. Quite interesting to hear, although I don't listen to them often.

(I also have the audiobook of The Children of Hurin read by Christoper Lee. That one I can listen to endlessly.)

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

Interesting. His cadence is much faster than I would have expected.

 

[Morrus]

Can't really say as I had any particular expectation!

 

[Tonguez]

Hmm I notice the trill at the end of Mordorrr, his cadence makes the rhyming scheme much more obvious too

I also have a CD of Tolkien reading some of his works. The riddle scene from the Hobbit is great!

This one?


It wouldn't surprise me if he recorded it a dew times though.
