Ok, with classical music, I have not so much at the hat and know myself in this genre also not so good. But then came the movie "Gladiator" in theaters. When I was looking at me the first few minutes of the film, I suddenly heard a faint pop up acoustic guitar. And the latest was as the title "Progency" in the movie to the end, I knew I had to get this soundtrack necessarily. The music is actually more than a soundtrack, it is much more a monumental work! Just great, what composer Hans Zimmer and his singing partner Lisa Gerrard were delivering here! In addition to the great actors and the film tricks, it was primarily the music that drew me into the spell. I guess that "Gladiator" would without this music only half so well. But one has for the film music just pulled the right composer ashore. And this is really good! This refers to Hans Zimmer, who has long been active in the film industry when it comes to soundtracks for various films. (Eg "Hannibal" and "Pearl Harbor", etc.) I believe has never been a soundtrack so blown away like this. Everything is just right! From beginning to end. The shot with a bombastic Orchestra entitled "The Battle" puts us back in the great battle with the Germans at the beginning of the film. The whole album was (including guitars and trumpets) produced with an incredible Orchestra. Some electronic keyboards approaches by interfering hardly. Weird Science is awesome title "The Might of Rome". Started quietly, the title increases by timpani, Percusionen, violins, violins, trumpets, etc. into a feast for the ears and comes to a fantastic end, preceded by a beautiful choir. It is as if you are back in the film mitendrin happen if the "Gladiator" soundtrack sounds. Other highlights: The title "Barbarian Horde", "Am I not Mercyful?" and "Now We Are Free". Conclusion: Hans Zimmer brought us probably hereby best soundtrack of all time ... right?
