Hans Zimmer - The Classics

This album is obviously an homage brought to one of the most valuable and prolific composers of film music. The album released on the 13th of January 2017 thrills thanks to the valuable musicians who interpret Hans Zimmer's music, either solo, or accompanied by the Czech Harmonium's Orchestra. It is my pleasure to mention the pianists Lang Lang and Kathia Buniatshvilli, the quartet The Piano Guys, 2Cellos, the trumpeter Till Bronner, the cellist Tina Guo, the saxophonist Amy Dickson, the organist Roger Seyer, the singer Leona Lewis and violinists Lindsey Stirling and Maxim Vengherov. These are many valuable musicians who we can find on this album's poster in order to perform Hans Zimmer's music.

It's an album which will definitely thrill the music lovers and those who appreciate the movie music. I think that all those who will listen to this album will have the surprise of finding music full of emotionat consistency which the aforementioned will add to it from their artistic personality.

Therefore, I invite you to listen to Hans Zimmer- The Classics in premiere at CD Review on the 18th of January.
