全球经典史诗巨制，华特迪士尼出品的电影《狮子王》原声带正式上线。
原版《狮子王》电影曾是动画影史的巅峰杰作之一，牵动着一代代人的难忘记忆，电影曾横扫了奥斯卡【最佳原创歌曲】、【最佳配乐】、金球奖喜剧类【最佳影片】、安妮奖【最佳动画】等在内的众多金奖。今年上映的新版《狮子王》电影由Jon Favreau执导，以全新方式将电影中的经典角色搬上荧幕。
1994年，原版《狮子王》曾在音乐历史上同样缔造了众多非凡荣誉，连续10周在美国公告牌专辑排行榜上问鼎第一并被美国唱片工业协会认证“钻石唱片“，销量超过1000万张。今年新版本《狮子王》延续94版音乐传奇音乐人团队联袂打造，包括奥斯卡与格莱美得主巨星Elton John，奥斯卡及格莱美得主的音乐诗人Tim Rice两位黄金搭档以及传奇配乐大师Hans Zimmer，更有音乐天后Beyoncé，Pharrell Williams等音乐人强势助阵，齐力为音乐史诗再创新荣耀。
全新《狮子王》原声带收录19首曲目，包括由Elton John与Tim Rice共同谱写，Elton John献唱的振奋人心的全新歌曲“Never Too Late“（出现在电影片尾），还有曾经风靡全球的经典曲目“Can You Feel The Love Tonight”。乐迷既可以听到二人合力新作，也可以在原声带中重温二人打造的经典原声。此次，荣获格莱美奖的金曲制单机Pharrell Williams也为新版《狮子王》原声带献力，参与5首曲目制作，包括“I Just Can’t Wait to Be King”，“Hakuna Matata”，“The Lion Sleeps Tonight”，“Can You Feel the Love Tonight”，“Mbube”。更为耀眼的还包括流行音乐天后Beyoncé的强势助阵，除了担纲电影中Nala（娜娜）角色配音，献声经典金曲“Can You Feel The Love Tonight”，更打造与献声全新原创单曲“Spirit”，歌曲由Beyoncé携手Ilya Salmanzadeh，Timothy Mckenzie共同参与创作，Beyoncé亲力参与制作。同时，参与配音(成年辛巴)与献唱的还有今年格莱美四座奖项得主Donald Glover（Childish Gambino）以及为小辛巴配音的天籁金嗓少年JD McCrary等等。
而配乐部分则继续请到奥斯卡与格莱美得主由配乐大师Hans Zimmer参与塑造。此外，带有非洲特色元素的Vocal以及合声编排请到了荣获奥斯卡奖，来自南非制作人兼创作人Lebo M。在重温《狮子王》配乐时，Hans Zimmer想到曾经的音乐主题与旋律是“故事的情感支柱”，于是，他为重塑新作请回了许多参与原版电影音乐的幕后工作者，包括Lebo M，管弦乐家Bruce Fowler，指挥家Nick Glennie-Smith，编曲家Mark Mancina以及部分合唱团的歌手，其中包括了在94版电影中献唱“Circle of Life”的音乐艺术家Carmen Twillie。为了以不同形式打造新版《狮子王》配乐，Han Zimmer还招募了由Matt Jones 和 Stephanie Matthews领衔重组的管线乐团以及交响乐团Hollywood Studio Symphony。Hans Zimmer表示他的目标是将配乐原声打造得现场表演一般的水准。
导演Favreau分享到“就让这部音乐作品直击你的心灵深处吧，就算你还不了解这部电影或舞台剧，都可以从音乐中感受到它的精神力量。但是如果你已经知道这部电影，而它的音乐也曾伴随你成长，那么它能马上唤起你对故事的记忆，并且在94版《狮子王》电影牵动下，会回忆起自己曾经的种种经历，比如你生活的地方，你的童年或者那时候遇到的事情等等。”
华特迪士尼工作室音乐及原声带总裁Mitchell Leib也赞誉道“那些为此项目共同付诸心血的音乐天才们是无与伦比的。导演Jon Favreau对这次音乐合作的深爱与本能激发了Hans Zimmer, Lebo M, Pharrell Williams, Elton John, Tim Rice, Beyoncé, Donald Glover乃至整个音乐团队。他们在音乐上的慷慨，富有灵感以及奉献精神达到了令人敬畏的高度，他们共同开辟了歌曲创作，制作以及表演的强大音乐之旅。”
《狮子王》电影领先全球，于7月12日在中国首映。跟随跨世代意义的巨制电影与史诗音乐的同步问世，那些作品也将与辛巴一同踏上这“重回荣耀大地的王者之路“。

Hans Zimmer is one of the most successful film music composers working today. His multi-award winning career reaches back to the mid-eighties and he has developed close working relationships with renowned directors such as Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Michael Bay, Ron Howard, Gore Verbinski and Christopher Nolan. His credits include some of the biggest blockbuster movies of all time along with acclaimed TV series such as The Crown and Planet Earth II. This concert was filmed on May 7th, 2016 in Prague during Hans Zimmer's hugely successful European concert tour. Hans was accompanied by a band, orchestra and choir, 72 musicians in total, including guitarist Johnny Marr of The Smiths. The staging was spectacular with a ground breaking light show, stunning visuals, and a state of the art sound system. Hans Zimmer performs on multiple instruments and gives introductory insights to many of the pieces during the concert. This show is a treat for lovers of both great music and great movies.

Soundtrack to acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s epic action thriller Dunkirk. The album features an original score by Academy-, Golden Globe-, and Grammy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer, who previously collaborated with Nolan on the director’s Interstellar, Inception, and The Dark Knight Trilogy. It features a powerful and unique score unlike anything before produced by this formidable and inspired artistic pairing. “Dunkirk is one of the greatest suspense stories of all time, and our film needed a score to reflect that and to propel the audience through a telling of this story that is more thriller than war film,” explained Christopher Nolan. “Hans’s unique score drives the visceral sense of action the film needs to put the audience right into the story, using images, sound and music.”
