"The project was approved by both the Tolkien family and their publishers, HarperCollins." — Prose needs to cover that this project was approved by HarperCollins. Also that it was approved by the Tolkien family, if this statement in the lead is referring to something that preceded the group's formation, or if it was separate from "In January 1997, Reiff and Peter Hall were granted permission by the Tolkien Estate to record the first 12 songs from The Lord of the Rings."
Fixed.
"Caspar Reiff and Peter Hall (composition, singing and guitar), Signe Asmussen (singing), Øyvind Ougaard (accordion), Katja Nielsen (double-bass), and Morten Ryelund Sørensen (conductor and violin)." — The part about instruments and vocals should have a brief mention in the prose, as pointed out below.
"masterpiece" — I would recommend that you avoid using "masterpiece" for peacock, unless you can add it as — "masterpiece" (if Reiff or Hall described The Lord of the Rings as such).
Yes, their words not mine.
"The founder members" — Can it be specified which instrument(s) each member generally played? And how they went about with (lead) vocals?
Fixed.
"successful concerts" — Best to avoid "successful" per above.
Removed.
"Ryelund later became a full member" — Is the specific year known for that?
It seems to have been soon afterwards, but Reiff's history elides the exact moment. In truth, from this distance Ryelund looks almost like a founder-member.
"was released in autumn 1997 and was given outstanding reviews by the press." — Perhaps "was released in autumn 1997 to (universal) critical acclaim" or likewise could be a more formal alternative?
Done.
"the legendary actor Christopher Lee" — Just "Christopher Lee" or "the actor Christopher Lee" should be written for NPOV per above.
Removed.
"In 2005 The Tolkien Ensemble played at two major Lord of the Rings concerts at Ledreborg Castle, Denmark where more than 22,000 people attended the concerts." — To avoid repeating "concerts" maybe something like "In 2005 The Tolkien Ensemble played at two major Lord of the Rings concerts at Ledreborg Castle, Denmark with over 22,000 people in attendance."
"Aabyen, Af Søren" — Has double entries as reference 1 and reference 15; needs "access-date", and English translation — this for consistency and uniformity, since "Bolding, Ras"'s title has an English translation.
