Reply To: Composers that you disliked, but now like?
I do like Zimmer often but I am not a fan of him like I am of Goldsmith or Williams. He’s good suited for best of playlists. For example I don’t rank GLADIATOR that high althought there are some nice tracks. And I tend to like his earlier stuff more than the newer ones.
Having said that, he does sometimes surprise me. I might be the only person in the world to say this, but my favourite Zimmer score is the small drama comedy SPANGLISH, which is so beautiful and lyrical. Highly recommended.
Do you know his Irish-celtic influenced score to EVERLASTING PIECE? I found that surprising as well.
