On November 18, "Xiaomi Rīga" new generation orchestra "Lords Of The Sounds" will perform a new concert program "The Music of Hans Zimmer", portal balticevents.info informs.
Hans Zimmer is a German film composer, who gained popularity after the cult film "Rain Man" appeared on the screens.
"While creating the music for 'Rain Man', I always thought: don't try to silence the characters. Don't lie in the foreground. The main character, Raymond, really doesn't understand where he is. He sees the world differently than we do... Why not create 'music for a world' that exists only in his head? "- remembers Hans.
This work was a real breakthrough in his career - Zimmer was nominated for an Oscar. Hollywood's top directors lined up to work with him. And Hans devoted himself to his work, often composing music for two or three films at the same time.
His music impressed the Disney studio so much that they commissioned Zimmer to compose for the cartoon The Lion King. The cartoon music brought the composer three very prestigious awards - "Oscar", "Golden Globe" and "Grammy".
And even later Zimmer received many awards, truly becoming the best of the best in Hollywood. It is very rare that an Oscar ceremony is held without nominee Zimmer.
The orchestra will perform scores from films such as Spider-Man 2, The Dark Knight, Sherlock Holmes, Iron Man, Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mission Impossible and many others.
