Hans Zimmer, Kara Talve & Anže Rozman set to compose HBO’s “Harry Potter” original score.
Hans Zimmer is set to compose HBO’s “Harry Potter” original score with Bleeding Fingers musicians Kara Talve and Anže Rozman.
“The musical legacy of ‘Harry Potter’ is a touch point for composers everywhere and we are humbled to join such a remarkable team on a project of this magnitude. The responsibility is something that myself, Kara Talve and Anže Rozman do not take lightly,” Zimmer said in a statement. “Magic is all around us, often just beyond reach, but as in the world of ‘Harry Potter,’ you simply must look for it. With this score we hope to bring audiences that little bit closer to it whilst honoring what has come before.”
Hans-Zimmer.com back on track
As you may have noticed, the website could not be maintained over the past 18 months, mostly due to technical issues. But after a few months of hard work we’re pleased to show the brand new version of the site for its 25th anniversary. Catching up is a long process but we could at least bring up to date our dear Hans Zimmer’s career. Others will follow. Feel free to give us any feedback or ideas, and we hope you enjoy it !

BLACK RAIN (REMASTERED EDITION)
Quartet Records, in collaboration with Universal Music Enterprises and Paramount Pictures, presents the restored and remastered 2-CD reissue of Hans Zimmer’s iconic score for Ridley Scott’s 1989 action-suspense film BLACK RAIN, starring Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia as two New York City cops who arrest a Yakuza member and must escort him to Japan for extradition.
BLACK RAIN was the first collaboration of Hans Zimmer with Ridley Scott, kicking off a creative partnership that would go on to produce some of the most thrilling film scores of the next two decades. For this new release of the BLACK RAIN score, we were fortunate to access archival studio materials that had been transferred within the last decade—sources that were unavailable for previous editions. These included the original 24″ and 32″ multitrack recordings. With these elements in hand, the score was carefully restored, cleaned and remixed to achieve vastly improved sonic fidelity. Among the discoveries in these transfers were several unexpected bonuses. This expanded edition has been a long time coming, and we’re thrilled that fans can finally experience Hans Zimmer’s early action score in its most complete and dynamic form to date.
Painstakingly produced by Stéphane Humez and Dan Goldwasser, mixed and mastered by Maxime Marion with the supervision and approval of the composer, the package includes detailed liner notes by Kaya Savas, including an exclusive interview with Mr. Zimmer.
