I suppose we have to wait a month for the Planet Earth III album?
Is Zimmer himself attached or just Bleeding Fingers?
As far as I know, Zimmer himself is attached but I fully expect Jacob Shea and Sara Barone credited for most of the work.
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
My name is Ronald Schäfer. I am responsible for the orchestral materials of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony (Hessischer Rundfunk (Germany/Frankfurt)/Chef conductor Alain Altinoglu/Honorary Conductor Paavo Järvi).
On 1 February 2024 we would like to perform “01 – Planet Earth II Suite (4:31)”. Would it be possible to get orchestral material from you for this project? If so, under what conditions?
We would be very happy if a performance of this great music would be possible.
Perhaps you could email us a score of this excerpt in advance?
I look forward to a reply!
My email: ronald.schaefer@hr.de
Yours sincerely,
Ronald Schäfer

I think number 1 is the same kind of track as Planet Earth II
Cannot wait! Planet Earth II was so good, and I'm so pumped for Blue Planet II!
So… Film Music Reporter is reporting that Zimmer, Shea and Klebe will score Blue Planet II. If it's anything like Planet Earth, I will be one happy individual.
Is that suite all Zimmer wrote here, or was he involved in other tracks, too? "We are the Designers" sounds like him, and his Facebook page posted it as music "he" wrote along with Jasha Klebe and Jacob Shea.
