BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Hollywood Composer - Hans Zimmer

With scores like The Lion King, for film directors he's the composer to work with

With scores like The Lion King, for film directors he's the composer to work with.

From his Oscar-winning score for The Lion King, through 12 Years A Slave to a series of superhero blockbusters including Batman v Superman, Hans Zimmer is, as one director put it, 'quite simply the contemporary composer to work with'. German born and British educated, he never received formal musical training and is a champion of technology. Shaun Ley asks Hans Zimmer whether the technology he so loves is killing the music makers.
