Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer stopped a concert at London’s O2 Arena this week to highlight a moment of beauty amid the ongoing terror on the streets of Ukraine.
His “Hans Zimmer Live” European tour is a dynamic presentation of his award-winning scores for films such as No Time to Die, Sherlock Holmes and Dune, for which he received an Oscar nomination this year.
But it was Zimmer’s presentation of his song “Time” from Inception that may have provided the most powerful moment. The composer showed the audience a video posted earlier this week of a musician from Lviv named Alex who, playing “Time” on his piano for a crowd on the street, refused to stop when the air raid sirens began wailing.

The moment was captured by National Geographic photographer John Stanmeyer, who described what he witnessed when he posted the footage on Instagram.
“When bomb sirens began, police asked everyone to move inside the railway station,” wrote Stanmeyer. “Alex @alexpian_official wouldn’t stop, playing his piano louder against the air raid warning. His friend joined with the most calming pink nails. A simple, overwhelming one-minute passion against fear, against war…He went on and on, never letting go.”

Jon Burlingame editorHans Zimmer triumphed in Sunday’s best original score category at the Academy Awards, claiming the Oscar for the music of “Dune.”Zimmer did not attend the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre as he is on tour with his band in Europe.It is Zimmer’s second Academy Award; he previously won for 1994’s animated “The Lion King,” although he has 10 other nominations for such modern classics as “Rain Man” and “Gladiator” and high-profile Christopher Nolan movies like “Inception” and “Interstellar.”Zimmer’s victory had been widely predicted, as the composer has already won the BAFTA, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards for his music for Denis Villeneuve’s much-admired adaptation of the sci-fi classic. “Dune” is the German-born composer’s second collaboration with the director, after their work together on “Blade Runner 2049.” Writing music for the project fulfilled a long-held ambition for Zimmer, who read Frank Herbert’s novel when he was 18 and had often imagined what the music of Arrakis might sound like.Eerie, ominous and dramatic, the Zimmer score is a unique mix of choral, world-music, rock and electronic sounds created by friends and colleagues on three continents during the pandemic.

Eilish and Finneas wrote “No Time to Die” in late 2019, as post-production on the 25th 007 epic was underway.
