What an absolutely gorgeous arrangement of perhaps one of the most beautiful melodies ever composed for cinema. I know, I know, the lyrical version was massively overplayed at the time, but it doesn't mean James Horner's score for the film is anything less then sublime. Your playing has all the emotion of Eric Rigler's bagpiping on the original soundtrack but also reminds me of the legend himself, Yo Yo Ma, playing Tan Dun's "The Eternal Vow" on the Crouching Tiger soundtrack. Magnificent, please keep putting out your amazing content!
I think Tina Guo on Cello for the Man of Steel work was the apex of what Hans Zimmer has done. Yes, I'm kind of biased for Tina. This is also beautiful as well.
I don’t understand your point. Also you meant Wonder Woman instead of the Man of Steel? If you wanna leave the comment, check and research correctly Thanks.
c'est magnifique as we say in french.. Thanks again for what you've done this saturday night (The World of Hans Zimmer in Lyon) you helped me to upgrade my soul <3
I was at the hans zimmer concert in Manchester a couple of nights ago where Mariko was playing in the orchestra. What a talent, mind blown watching her play. Star of the show for me.
There is indeed no time to die when the living are blessed with such touchingly beautiful tunes. This piece marked undoubtedly one of the absolute highlights of the current WoHZ concert series. 💐
