Live

'Hans Zimmer LIVE' features more than two hours of new reimagined arrangements of some of the most popular compositions by the L.A.-based composer icon. Sony Classical is pleased to present the album as a 2-CD digipak, which contains a booklet with a personal note by Hans Zimmer and stories on how he met his fellow band musicians, illustrations, and photos. The album was recorded during the highly successful same-named concert tour in Europe in the spring of 2022 for which Zimmer created new 'suites' from some of his most recognizable themes and melodies from the Oscar-winning scores for 'Dune' and 'The Lion King', as well as such contemporary classics as 'The Dark Knight', 'X-Men: Dark Phoenix', 'Dunkirk', 'Gladiator', 'Inception', 'Interstellar', 'The Last Samurai', 'Man of Steel', 'James Bond: No Time to Die', 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Wonder Woman 1984'. Together with his 20 piece-band 'The Disruptive Collective' featuring a gallery of long-time musical companions, the Odessa Opera Orchestra and Choir, Hans Zimmer has created an epic musical spectacle melding atmospheric classical arrangements and electronic elements into the powerful sound of a rock band. Hans Zimmer plays multiple instruments on the album and is accompanied by musicians who have been working together with him for a long time such as the singers and composers Lisa Gerrard ('Gladiator'), Lebo M. ('The Lion King') and Loire Cutler ('X-Men: Dark Phoenix'), cellist Tina Guo ('Wonder Woman') and Nick Glennie-Smith (musical director of the band). Other soloists include Andrew Kawczynski (synthesizer, percussion), Pedro Eustache (windwoods), Refi (vocalist), Rusanda Panfili (vocals) and many others.
