From Zimmer to Strauss [Blu-ray]

At first glance, Hans Zimmer and Johann Strauss may seem like two completely different worlds, but they are closer to each other than one might think. This spectacular production, which marked the world premiere of “The Limitless Orchestra,” was recorded at the Dubai Opera. Under the direction of its founder, Aleksey Igudesman, the ensemble presents a unique blend of virtuosity, movement, theatricality, and a joy of performance. In doing so, it interprets the music of these two legendary composers in a completely new way. Strauss meets Latin American rhythms and Eastern melodies, while Zimmer’s music from “The Da Vinci Code,” “Sherlock Holmes,” and “Inception” is reinterpreted in completely unexpected ways. Hans Zimmer, who supports the orchestra as its musical patron, will appear as a guest of honor and accompany the ensemble in the grand finale with the “Inception Variations”—a rousing journey through waltzes, tango, Celtic music, hard rock, Bollywood, and rap.
