Excellent, but my favourite has to be the Rob Inglis recordings (of both The Hobbit and LOTR). The songs are top notch, and his voice is perfect, esp. for the tone of the Hobbit. https://archive.org/details/TheHobbitAudiobook/The+Hobbit/Chapter+01+-+An+Unexpected+Party.mp3 https://archive.org/details/TheHobbitAudiobook/The+Hobbit/Ch...
- mwcz 8mo agoMartin Shaw's recording of the Silmarillion is similarly wonderful.

I have a theory that he recorded the narration and dialogue of each character individually and then it was all edited together - it seems impossible to switch back and forth between such incredible character deliveries on the fly. Or perhaps this is just how that kind of work is done. Regardless, an amazing job.
