VOTD: Meet the Musicians Behind Sherlock Holmes

zz7feb8fe1

Warner Bros has released a music video to help promote the original music composed for Sherlock Holmes, timed to let the Academy members get one last look before casting their ballots. The video introduces the musicians behind the music:

The musicians are Hans Zimmer, the composer nominated for his 8th Oscar for this score. The gentleman on the boat in the red pants is Lorne Balfe, (co-music producer) Alexsey Igudesman is the gentleman playing the violin on the beach and on the elephant, and the women are Ann-Marie Calhoun who is playing the violin and also in the box and Tina Guo plays the cello on the car. Davey Johnson has the long bleach blonde hair playing the banjo and Diego Stocco is banging on a cello like a drum towards the end of the video.

All of these people featured in the video are the original musicians that played on the film’s score and director Guy Ritchie and star Robert Downey Jr. also joined in on the fun. Watch the video, embedded after the jump.

    The score is so fantastic. It adds a big portion of "magic" into the movie.

    I haven't seen the movie, but judging from this video, Hans' score is very similar to Yann Tiersen's work. Specifically Amelie.
  • YoungZer0
    Not even close.

    It's rare that I even notice original scores in movies....but Zimmer's work in Holmes definitely got my attention.

    Hope it get the Oscar. Because it's so good. Listen to it while watching the movie is something I can't even explain. It made the movie looks like a musical! Sure my congrats also to Guy Ritchie cause I imagine he was responsible for choosing where and how to insert it on the scenes. If it doesn't get the Oscar, no problem. It got my heart. :) This video is amazing, by the way. Loved Robert Downey Jr's participation. He is a blast. Should have been nominated too, as he got the Golden Globe for his role as Sherlock Holmes. I can't understand the Academy.
  • esta muy buena, algunos dicen que es una veruenza pero no hay que darles bola.hablan pavadas nomas!
    La verdad Buenisima
  • opale
    i allso noticed the music...goood
  • I'm a Hans Zimmer fan. My favourite scores of his are probably THE THIN RED LINE and THE RING.

    But he practically recycled his THE RING score for the Nolan Batman pictures. He's no James Horner in that regard, by any means. But you do hear a lot of recycling of cues.

    Hans Zimmer's probably one of the few composers who's treated like a rock star. It's kind of insane.

    Love the score for this film as well as this video.
  • hhhhh
    great movie, great music
  • I liked the score a lot, but I really hope Michael Giacchino wins for Up.
  • Hazza
    The music was brilliant! I believe I like it better than the film, which I also enjoyed tremendously!
  • Cineprog
    You have the same thought's that I do Hazza the Music was far better than the film. It would have been better if Robert Downey Jr would have been watson, and Jude Law would have been Holmes the crap British accent that Downy Jr was Bloody Crap.
