Film Composers

Homage to important film composers

For film composer Hans Zimmer, composing means "storytelling". Film music has the task of accompanying and supporting a film without pushing itself to the fore. The composer is a link between musician and psychologist and must have both musical and emotional sensitivity. From the beginning of (sound) film, outstanding film composers have created a significant body of work that often outlasted the films themselves. Often there have been legendary alliances between director and film composer, for example with Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann, Federico Fellini and Nino Rota, Steven Spielberg and John Williams. Our compilation presents some works with outstanding film music. It is precisely in the larger showcase of several films by one composer that his or her artistic achievement is revealed.
