About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

When Ridley Scott's Gladiator singularly revived the old Hollywood "Sword & Sandals" genre in 2000, it also propelled composer Hans Zimmer's rousing score onto every movie trailer that followed in its wake, so it's surprising to find the prolific -- but relatively unknown -- Harry Gregson-Williams taking the reins on Scott's similarly themed 12th century Crusades epic Kingdom of Heaven. Williams approaches the era with a far more delicate touch than Zimmer, utilizing period and regional instrumentation, as well as lush choral arrangements to accentuate the film's romance and religiosity. While there are plenty of instances where thunderous percussion and sweeping brass paint gallant images of galloping horses and tattered flags, there are more moments that effectively portray the bloody fields and pious ruminations of war.

April 17, 2008: Hans Zimmer usually scores Ridley Scott's movies, but Harry Gregson-Williams keeps it from becoming a gladiator retread. Great as that movie and score was, HGW gives it an entirely different treatment. And to great effect.

April 16, 2007: I have never even seen this movie and I was drawn into this soundtrack. The music is amazing! The best soundtrack that I have listened to in a while. My favorite by far, I would recommend it to any soundtrack lover. I only listen to soundtracks, and this was superb. Hans Zimmer's masterpiece!
