Sony Classical is pleased to release the sensational double-album by one of the world’s most accomplished film composer, Hans Zimmer. This stunning album sees Hans Zimmer arrange some of his most successful and recognisable compositions into electrifying concert suites for or-chestra, choir and an impressive list of soloists. Recorded in the prestigious Wiener Konzerthaus, the album features the renowned Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Neue Wiener Stimmen choir under the baton of award-winning conductor Martin Gellner. Included in the album are some of Zimmer’s most popular hits: The Dark Knight, Inception, Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Da Vinci Code and many more.

After the success of Gladiator, it wasn't unusual to see director Ridley Scott turn to Hans Zimmer again for the score to Black Hawk Down, his fierce adaptation of Mark Bowden's account of the tragic 1993 American military intervention in Somalia. What was more surprising was the schedule Scott imposed on the German-born composer: 15 days to write, arrange, and record the film's nearly two hours of music. The results of Zimmer's miraculous two-week musical campaign not only belie those constraints; they instantly take their place alongside The Thin Red Line as some of the most compelling music he's produced. The gambit here is simple–portray the combatants as two warring tribes, with their native musics locked in a tense dance for domination.
