With recall sessions booked in Lyndhurst Hall for more days of recording to make sure the full timbral spectrum of sounds was captured, the Spitfire team then cut and polished each sample again. The Spitfire editing team spent nearly 12 months treating each sample, with regular reviews from Hans and his team. It also boasts the widest range of techniques - from staccato and long notes, to detailed studies in the softest layers of the piano - and a vast collection of effects, from zither-like finger plucks to soft timpani-stick string hits, for extra inspiration. The piano, a world-class stretch concert grand, was played utilising a mixture of technical wizardry and performing talent to produce days of recordings, with a huge array of round robins and dynamic layers, from momentous power to deathly quiet tones for creating the most tender moments. Hans Zimmer Piano features the combined signals of a staggering 60 microphones placed in and around the piano and the Hall, fed through the unique Air вЂњMontserratвЂќ pre-amps via a Neve 88R desk, into Prism AD converters. Recorded in the same space as our Symphonic and Chamber libraries, it has been designed to blend perfectly and enhance your orchestral compositions, as well as working perfectly as a solo or featured instrument. This project would give him what he needed as a composer to inspire, to write, and to create masters from an expertly performed set of recordings.

It was those brief solitary sojourns at the piano that produced a spark of inspiration for his next Oscar-nominated blockbuster score, leading Hans to think, what if I could capture that degree of inspiring potential, box it, and take it anywhere? Over a series of impassioned phone calls with Spitfire Audio founder and composer Paul Thomson, it was agreed a no-holds-barred approach was required. Over the last two decades of producing Oscar-winning, world-renowned scores, Hans has stolen rare moments of downtime to play the Steinway Model D grand piano in the inspiring and luscious acoustics of Lyndhurst Hall at AIR Studios. ThatвЂ™s why we did it - because it always inspired me.вЂќ - HANS ZIMMER This is one of the most beautiful pianos I know, in one of the most beautiful halls.
