Returning to conduct the beautiful score of the fourth film in the epic Pirates of the Caribbean series is Hans Zimmer. Hans returns with amazing and original sound to better accent the series’ already vivid and alluring sound, but he is not alone. With him, is the sound of Rodrigo y Gabriela, bringing the feel and zing of Spanish rhythm to the mix.
The score includes already known and memorable tunes, but adds in enough new creativity and zest to merit (at least for me) the worth of listening and purchasing the score.
