I don't know what it would sound like with piano and Donald Swann.
Swann's the piano; the singer for the original 1967 recordings was William Elvin. He has a lovely clean baritone, but I'd have chosen someone less mannered; I might like him best on the almost unaccompanied, plainchant-like "Namárië." As mentioned to lignota above, my favorite track on the album as it currently exists is Swann's own "Bilbo's Last Song." I know he recorded the rest, but I don't know if they're publicly available. I'd love to hear him on "The Road Goes Ever On" or "Upon the Hearth the Fire is Red" or either of the Elvish songs.

I imagine it would be very good that way.
