Hans Zimmer’s famous movie soundtracks have been reimagined for a new double album.
The legendary composer, 65, has unveiled the collection ‘Hans Zimmer LIVE’, due on March 3, 2023, which features “more than two hours of new reimagined arrangements of some of the most popular compositions.”
The scores are from blockbusters such as ‘Dune’, ‘The Lion King’, ‘The Dark Knight’, ‘X Men: Dark Phoenix’, ‘Dunkirk’, ‘Gladiator’, ‘Inception’, ‘Interstellar’, ‘The Last Samurai’, ‘No Time to Die’, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ and more.
The production was completed over 10 nights, with friend and producer, Stephen Lipson.
Today (07.10.22), Hans has shared ‘The Last Samurai Suite’.
He said: “I simply wanted to produce the best album.
“I wanted to create an opportunity for the music to breathe a little differently, in its own context. For this adventure, I am thrilled to have been joined by the greatest possible team of collaborators.”
The songs feature the 20-piece band The Disruptive Collective, made up of long-time collaborators and the Odessa Opera Orchestra and Choir, such as 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), to name but a few.
Meanwhile, the ‘Hans Zimmer LIVE’ concert tour continues in April 2023.
