Highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed 2019 album ‘The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration’. Melding the grandeur of symphonic music with the dynamic power of his cinematic compositions, Zimmer transforms 17 more of his most successful soundtracks into new epic orchestral suites on this double album. Highlights of the over 2 hours long record include a short, captivating ‘cello-concerto-like’ version of ‘Final Ascent’ from ‘No Time to Die’, a tranquil rendition of ‘A Time of Quiet Between the Storms’ from ‘Dune II’, and a new romantic suite from ‘The Prince of Egypt’. Additionally, Zimmer revisits one of his classic 90s soundtracks with a newly crafted suite of ‘The Rock’. The album features Zimmer accompanied by a stellar ensemble of soloists and collaborators, including singers Lebo M, Lisa Gerrard, Gan-ya Ben-gur Akselrod, and Nokukhanya Dlamini; multi-woodwind wizard Pedro Eustache; bass player Juan Garcia-Herreros; guitarist Alexios Anest; pianist Eliane Correa; cellist Mariko Muranaka; violinist Rusanda Panfili; and percussionists Aleksandra Suklar, Luis Ribeiro, and Lucy Landymore. Together, they perform alongside the Odessa Orchestra & Friends and the Nairobi Chamber Choir, under the baton of conductor Gavin Greenaway.
