| Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer and former member of Dead Can Dance-turned-composer Lisa Gerrard, have teamed up to create a score equal to the grandiose backdrop of the Roman Empire in which the movie Gladiator is set. Zimmer garnered his Oscar for his work on The Lion King, one of the best-selling soundtracks of all time. The film stars Russel Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix and a superb international cast.
| | Album Notes and Credits | Notes & Personnel Info |  | Original score composed by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard. |  | GLADIATOR was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media. |  | Personnel: Lisa Gerrard (vocals); Heitor Teixeira Pereira (guitar); Tony Pleeth (cello); Djivan Gasparian (duduk); Maurice Murphy (trumpet). |  | Audio Mixer: Alan Meyerson. |  | Recording information: Air Studios Lyndhurst, London, England. |  | Photographer: Jaap Buitendijk. |  | Arrangers: Klaus Badelt; Lisa Gerrard; Hans Zimmer. |  | The combination of the prolific Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard is an ingenious one. He's set lush musical backgrounds to everything from comedies (I'LL DO ANYTHING), to period pieces (DRIVING MISS DAISY), to blockbuster war flicks (THE THIN RED LINE); she's one of the duo comprising Dead Can Dance, perhaps the most singular popularizers of ancient music of the '80s and '90s. |  | Zimmer and Gerrard contribute a thrilling, boisterous score. These stirring, magnificent pieces are vital to such epics as GLADIATOR, which depend on them to rouse audiences into fits of passion, to suck them into the action, to involve them in every bloody battle, to bask in the hero's triumphs, to gasp at his possible defeat. The music in GLADIATOR expertly evokes an ancient time with a mixture of majestic, classical themes, and folk music of the ages. Fans of the movie will revel in reliving the grandeur of this powerful cinematic production. | Producer: Pietro Scalia; Klaus Badelt; Ridley Scott; Hans Zimmer | Engineer: Bruno Roussel; Jake Jackson; Kevin Globerman; Alan Meyerson; Nick Wollage; Slamm Andrews |
