I've been very interested in this performance ever since someone mentioned it in another post, mostly because I'm hoping that Howard Shore will choose Hayley to sing for the upcoming Hobbit movies. So, yesterday, I searched on google to find out anything I could about the LOTR symphony. Unfortunately, there's no live footage, but I found this comment in response to the O Mio Babbino Caro video on MetaCafe. Here's what they say: "The Dallas Symphony Orchestra did a "Lord of the Rings" night, where they played the film trilogy's entire score. Westenra was there and did the soprano vocals for all the Elvish lines in the music. She was phenomonal." I was glad to find this, because I was very interested in the details of the concert. I was hoping she had performed the song Edward Ross sang for the Breaking of the Fellowship, because she'd sound beautiful singing it. But to me, this just confirms that she should sing in "elvish" scenes in the new Hobbit movies, and maybe appear as one of the elves who sings in the story. MetaCafe video and comments: www.metacafe.com/watch/yt-3nLKXxzVqTY/hayley_westenra_o_mio_babbino_caro/Now, here's someone's comment on a guestbook for Hayley on Decca's website (it's obviously old, though): "When I saw you in the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in Texas, I thought that you had the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. I couldn't believe that I was close up to the stage too! I'm so lucky to have seen you sing live! P.S. Do you like horses?" I guess she does if she sang for the Horses in Harmony that I just now read about! www.deccaclassics.com/external_guestbooks/view.asp |

Why do I live so far away from home?  Oh well. At least I get to see Hayley in NZ more often that in the States.  Dori |

Hi Comet, Don't say you missed that one.  Does this mean that all of Libby's letters paid off. Were we already aware that this recording had been made (Is there a thread for it) or is this the first time it came to our attention. ?

Hi Libby, It was in relation to the photos of the 2CD pack on E Bay. (shown below) I didn't cop the date 2004, I'm not fond of reading the fine print. So I thought it was a more recent recording, I thought it had been made in the last few months perhaps. Howard Shore's music is being performed here in the National Concert Hall and I heard bits of an interview between Marty Whelan and someone involved in the performance of the music on the radio a few days before Taylor's pictures of the cds appeared here on HWI, which led me to believe it was NEW. With regards to your letters to the writers and composers, Have faith, the seed has been planted in the sub-conscious minds of those who have received the letters, let it germinate. Darn. Missed this by just 15 minutes. And the winner only got it for $10!   Not likely to see that again any time soon. Probably even rarer than WITA! -Taylor |

Oh, wow! I always wished they had made a recording of that! I guess they did, but it wasn't intended for the public, unfortunately! Yes, the seed has been planted (in a couple different spots), and Howard Shore already knows who Hayley is, so let's not give up hope yet. Not until the summer of 2014.  |

was it one of our members who got this 2cd set in 2012 ?
It would appear one of these 2cd recordings was put on E bay on Jan 31 2018 and it had no bids,
It was re-listed on Feb 11th 2018 and it had no bids.
It was re-listed yet again on Feb 22.
The seller had the spelling of Hayley wrong which may explain why none of us found it or came across it or had a notification from ebay letting us know it was for sale
