		His first score, for Altered States, was nominated for an Academy Award in 1981, and his second, for the British film Revolution, earned the 1985 Anthony Asquith Award, that country’s equivalent of an Oscar.

		Awarded a Grammy for Best Composition as well as the 1991 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition, it has been performed by more than 100 orchestras around the world.

	Long Island Philharmonic ~ Program Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Despite these widely divergent views, the symphony scored a resounding success at its premiere, on December 8, 1813 in Vienna, and continues to be regarded by most commentators as one of Beethoven's great symphonies.
		The experts, though, are in agreement that he wrote the piece to play himself (he performed on both harpsichord and violin) with his children (he had 20!) and that parts of the original third movement were lost and that unknown composers of later generations have filled in the missing sections.
		Bernstein scored the work for a boy alto soloist (or a countertenor, but not a woman), a choir of boy sopranos, male altos, tenors and basses (or a regular choir of sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses), and a large orchestra minus woodwinds.

	2/18/04: Oscar 2003 Cary Wong
		If this year's Academy Award nominations for Best Original Score reflect any trend in film composing, it would have to be a rise in popularity of moody and ambient scores, as opposed to big, thematic efforts.
		This is certainly the most unabashedly romantic score in the bunch, and the four tracks on the CD release highlight this.
		Although the score is stylistically diverse (to match the storytelling aspect of the movie), it coalesces beautifully into a nice theme during the finale.

	Biography for Hans Zimmer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Having already scored two Best Picture winners, in the early ‘90s Zimmer cemented his position as a pre-eminent talent with the award-winning score for The Lion King.
		In 2000 Zimmer scored the music for Gladiator, for which he received an Oscar nomination, in addition to Golden Globe and Broadcast Film Critics Awards for his epic score.
		The Grammy-winning score, often heard in trailers since, was a departure from the norm, making use of digital synthesizers, electronic keyboards, and the latest computer technology to digitally produce a rousing score with traditional orchestral arrangements.
