A stunning new album from the world’s most exciting film composer, Hans Zimmer. Back-to-back blockbuster hits including the iconic music from Pirates of the Caribbean, Academy Award-winning The Lion King, the powerful and evocative theme from The Dark Knight Rises and the Platinum-selling ‘Now We Are Free’ from Gladiator.

With his album "The Disney Book," star pianist Lang Lang takes his listeners into the fairy-tale world of flying carpets, ice castles and talking animals, presenting the iconic film melodies in a very unique and stylistically diverse way. "These new versions are sort of composed into my fingers. I wanted something really artistic and pianistic," Lang Lang said.

One of the most prolific and influential film composers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Germany's Hans Zimmer began his music career in London, producing and playing synths for a variety of new wave and punk bands in the early 1980s. After founding a recording studio with film scorer Stanley Myers, their work on films such as 1985's My Beautiful Laundrette fused the traditional orchestral aesthetic of film composition with state-of-the-art electronics and proved influential on countless soundtracks to follow.
