[Video] Organist Anna Lapwood Releases New Album on November 13: Lord of the Rings Score Reimagined for Organ, Concert Film Premieres November 14
British organist Anna Lapwood released her new album, Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost, on November 13, 2026, via Sony Classical. The label describes it as her most ambitious recording to date.
On the record, Lapwood reimagines two iconic film soundtracks — Howard Shore's The Lord of the Rings and Hans Zimmer's Pirates of the Caribbean — as major works for organ. The centrepiece is The Lord of the Rings Organ Symphony, her transcription of Shore's score.
The album was recorded on the Steinmeyer organ of Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway, using the cathedral's architecture and acoustics as part of the performance.
To mark the release, the concert film Anna Lapwood at Nidaros: Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost premieres at 12 p.m. EST on Saturday, November 14, and will be available to watch for approximately 48 hours. Tickets are priced at 17.94 dollars plus a transaction fee, with access via watch.annalapwood.co.uk, delivered by Kiswe.
Lapwood will join fans in the live chat during the premiere, reacting and commenting as the concert unfolds, according to the release announcement.
The label notes that Lapwood has built an audience of more than four million followers across social platforms. The album opens with Prologue: One Ring to Rule Them All, from The Lord of the Rings Organ Symphony.
