Even in Hollywood, soundtrack specialists are not given much time to give the freshly edited footage the appropriate orchestral guise. And yet it is often the composers who help a film achieve immortality – with ingenious melodic ideas and an unerring sense of emotion and drama. John Williams and Hans Zimmer are the two great sound wizards of our time, who have given generations of cinema fans goose bumps and feelings of sheer joy, and whose melodies are known to everyone. Williams alone has been nominated for an Oscar more than 50 times, and of course, the two figureheads of cinematic symphony were on the prominent list again recently. Just this year, Hans Zimmer received the coveted trophy for his soundtrack to "Dune". Both composers have their very own tonal language, but their stylistic range knows no bounds and sets new standards. All the many catchy melodies and striking themes make the film music spectacle "The Sound of Hans Zimmer & John Williams" a true celebration of sound colors.

Music from "The Lion King", "Harry Potter", "Gladiator", "Star Wars", "Schindler's List", "Dune", "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Indiana Jones" and many more.
