GLADIATOR II
ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK
HARRY GREGSON-WILLIAMS
Ο συνθέτης Harry Gregson-Williams μας παρουσιάζει το soundtrack album της νέας block buster ταινίας του Ridley Scott, που είναι το sequel του Gladiator!
O Harry Gregson-Williams συμπράττει με μια ορχήστρα 100 μουσικών και ερμηνευτών από όλο τον κόσμο για 20 κομμάτια!
Αξίζει να σημειωθεί πως ένας από αυτά είναι το επικό “Now We Are Free” του Hans Zimmer από την πρώτη ταινία του Gladiator που κυκλοφόρησε 25 χρόνια πριν, σε φωνητικά Lisa Gerrard.
The Independent 4**** review
“…Mescal bears the weight of history and the film’s own legacy gracefully. So does Harry Gregson-Williams’s score,
which often quotes Hans Zimmer’s original but offers its own moments of searing heroism.”
The Telegraph 4**** review
“the year’s most relentlessly entertaining blockbuster.”
The Guardian 4**** review
“…gobsmacking reboot “
“…a thrilling spectacle…”
BBC 4**** review
“By far the best popcorn film of the year”
Empire Magazine 4**** review
“A hell of a ride”
“My approach to the score for Gladiator II was to create
music that embodied the spiritual essence of the original film whilst creating a fresh sound for Lucius and the other
leading characters we encounter (such as Acacius – strong and bold – and Macrinus - scheming and calculating).
Thematically, Lucius needed a very versatile melody - he is the center of the film, and his love, leadership, rage and
need for vengeance all had to be reflected in his music. Beyond the large orchestra and choirs that this epic tale
called for, I felt the need to employ some unique instrumentation to help shape the storytelling. Whether it was the
sliding, discomforting strings of a baritone violin or electric cello to represent Macrinus’ scheming and plotting, or
the primitive horns that helped place us back in Ancient Rome, special instrumentation helped bring a sense of
uniqueness to these characters and places. From specially recorded vocals representing the Numidian fighters, to
the esoteric and otherwordly vocals of Lisa Gerrard, all of these different unique sounds and colors were necessary
to tell Lucius’ story.” – Harry Gregson-Williams

ABOUT GLADIATOR II
From legendary director Ridley Scott, and a screenplay by David Scarpa, story by Peter Craig and David Scarpa, and
based on characters created by David Franzoni, Gladiator II continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and
vengeance set in Ancient Rome. Years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus at the hands of his
uncle, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical
Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist. With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius
must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people.
