The music made that show . What idiots changing the music
Who????balfe on second season really made the soundtrack .
Martin Phipps worked with Zimmer and did Black Mirror, Victoria and War And Peace. Plus previous seasons of The Crown had a lot of additional music from other composers or you really think that Zimmer and Balfe does everything by themselves?
Zimmer didn’t work on season 2. He only wrote the main title theme which the CD and booklet clearly stated. Rupert Gregson-Williams wrote the score for season 1 and also did season 2 but with Balfe.
Wrong.The main theme is written by Zimmer/Balfe/Gregsonwilliams.balfe on his Facebook mention Zimmer’s involvement in season two also.Season two was musically the strongest.who ever the new composer is simply needs to copy that style.anyone know why Balfe/gregsonwilliams isn’t doing it ???
