	Filmtracks: Hannibal (Hans Zimmer)
		Hannibal: (Hans Zimmer) It has been nearly ten years since Silence of the Lambs swept through the world with its hauntingly brilliant acting performances, and Sir Anthony Hopkins now reprises the title role in 2001's Hannibal.
		To pull this off successfully, Zimmer leaves his synthesizers behind, for the most part, and concentrates heavily on the strings of the Lyndhurst Orchestra to push the classical edge.
		As for Zimmer's music on the album, it makes up between 35 and 40 minutes, and much of the music that is obscured by the dialogue is available in varied forms elsewhere on the disc.

	2001 Best Original Score Nominee Gladiator: Hans Zimmer, Composer of Score for Mission Impossible 2, Hannibal and ...
		Zimmer was somewhat guilty and insecure about savoring the sweet smell of success in Ghent instead of slaving over a hot Macintosh Quadra 800 in Santa Monica for his latest score, Hannibal.
		Zimmer, on the other hand, said that a concert of film music is "not necessarily a contradiction." Although he is "of two minds" about the increased notoriety it signifies: "We all love being praised for doing good work but there's also something to be said for obscurity." Obscure he is not.
		Zimmer wrote a piece of music and they played it under the scene and suddenly there was that Renaissance light: "Then we took out the music, and the light was gone.

	Hans Zimmer Live in Concert
		Hans Zimmer's concert in Gent, Belgium, on Oct 10, 2002, his first film music concert ever, was as much anticipated by his fans as criticized after by visitors.
		A performance of the great Zimmer compositions by a huge (and real!) orchestra (the Flemish Radio Orchestra), a choir, several other musicians (drums, acoustic guitar, electric guitar), and Lisa Gerrard herself has the potential of an unforgettable mega event.
		Zimmer himself plays the piano, and I am very happy with the result (remember he is not considered a concert pianist).

		This second of two early Zimmer compilations released by Milan Records presents cues from five scores of his from 1991 to 1996.

	Hannibal (Soundtrack) by Hans Zimmer
		Had I been curious enough, I would have found (ex-Sir) Anthony Hopkins, director Ridley Scott and possibly composer Hans Zimmer (who was rumored to have been in Florence around that time as well) on location shooting a scene from the Silence of the Lambs sequel, Hannibal.
		Intermingled with Hans Zimmer's gothic score are a number of classical pieces- among them: J.S. Bach's Aria da Capo (2) and Gourmet Valse Tartare by Klaus Badelt (4).
		Zimmer's score, the classical elements, and, yes, even the monologue combine to make this an intense listening experience.

		From there, Zimmer emphasized this version's Eastern conceits with a half-dozen suites of cues that thunder in the Russian classical tradition -- and all the melodic range of "Jingle Bells." Zimmer--not to mention Poledouris--has done it better, but fans of outsized orchestral Gothic moodfests may yet take this one to heart.
		Hans is at his best when he has the canvas of an epic action/adventure movie such as King Arthur to work with.
		Zimmer makes dramatic use of percussion and choral material, and yes there is a nice Celtic vocal sung by Moya Brennan for the early, end credits.
