For one moment, I read “Score Composed and Conducted by Hans Zimmer” on the album’s cover.
Soundtracks looks good..!!!
I read somewhere that the soundtrack cd will be released on Tuesday July 23rd.
Hans Zimmer is an incredibly talented musician. But I cannot believe that he overdubbed every orchestral instrument himself. With their usual sloppy documentation, iTunes does not name the orchestra that Zimmer is conducting on The Lone Ranger soundtrack. Now I cannot find that information anywhere! Hrumph.
