Hero (Ying xiong) is the 2002 Chinese wuxia film directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Jet LI as the protagonist. The famous Chinese classical composer and conductor Tan Dun composed the soundtrack to the movie. His mesmerizing score is based around the story of 'The heaven that unites us all'. It's an amazing and deep soundtrack, with a lot of beautiful cues. The violin play of Itzhak Perlman adds another layer to the different compositions. On from the captivating main theme the soundtrack fits perfectly with the various moods of the movie. War and love blended with the historic/ political/philosophical context. It is a journey you will never forget. At the time of Hero's release it was both the most expensive as one of the highest-grossing motion pictures in China. The film is based on the story of Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the King of Qin in 227 BC. The Hero release is available as a pressing of 1.000 individually numbered copies on 'flaming' coloured (yellow & orange mixed) vinyl. The soundtrack is available on vinyl for the first time.

  • Wunderbar!!

    Einer meiner Lieblingssoundtracks überhaupt. Itzhak Perlman mit der Violine ist einfach eine Wucht!! Tan Dun ist einfach klasse, ich finde, dass "Hero" genauso gut ist wie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Vielleicht sogar ein Stückchen besser, da die Trommeln mehr im Vordergrund gebracht wurden als in CTHD. Wunderschöne Themen, sanfte Streicherklänge kombiniert mit exotischen Instrumenten aus dem Fernen Osten. Einfach super!

  • Jäjo!!

    Die Musik zu Hero klingt an einigen Stellen ähnlich wie die Musik zu Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (auch von Tan Dun), kommt aber nie ganz an Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ran, dennoch ein hörenswerter und guter Score!
