Blockbuster Scores

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Composer Hans Zimmer has written two of this year’s major film scores: The Da Vinci Code and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. As "Pirates" enters its fourth week near the top of the box office rankings, Zimmer joins to talk about scoring that film. Also: the music industry has been celebrating Mozart’s 250th birthday this year with new CDs and special concerts. We’ll speak with one critic who finds it all pretty tedious. And: Imaad Wasif, a Vancouver-born singer/guitarist who has recently joined the Yeah, Yeah, Yeah’s, plays live in the studio.
