I LOVE the complete recordings for The Lord of the Rings trilogy; to me they are all true treasures and my favorite releases of music I own and probably will ever own. I really hope The Hobbit scores will get the same kind of treatment, can you please tell us if this is happening? I miss the stunning “Flight to Carrock” music the most I think. I really hope there will be complete recordings for The Hobbit scores; it would be great to have "The Complete Recordings of the Middle-Earth Saga". The released special editions of the scores by WaterTower Music are not close of being complete sadly; they miss a bunch of extraordinary highlights like the “Flight to Carrock” for instance, and a lot of other great material. I feel that the current releases of the Hobbit scores does not do your music justice and that the scores deserve better treatment.

Have you ever considered writing music based on The Silmarillion book as your work outside your film work in addition to concertos? I think many of us fans would love to see that happen, even if it would take very long time to complete. I understand if you don't want to or are tired of Middle-Earth by now, but i'm just curious!

Thanks for the reply! I really hope it will happen. I'm also waiting patiently for your piano concerto "Ruin and Memories". I hope that will get released soon, I have been waiting a few years to hear that one.
