Reykjavík Orkestra Collaborates With Hans Zimmer on Score For Frozen Planet II
The award winning series, presented and narrated by Sir David Attenborough, returns with a new score recorded at our Reykjavík studios.
Whereas the original Frozen Planet series focused on life and the environment in both of the polar regions, this follow-up series broadened the scope to include the entire cryosphere, whilst also placing a greater emphasis on the threats the inhabitants of these regions face as a result of climate change.
The series took four and a half years to produce, and being filmed over ten years after its predecessor, Frozen Planet II took advantage of significant advances in camera, microphone and drone technology; using drones to capture live avalanches and disintegrating glaciers.[4] Each episode, except for the last, concludes with a segment entitled Out in the Cold that highlights how some of the sequences in each episode were made.
The score was composed by Hanz Zimmer and recorded by the Reykjavík Orkestra in our studio in Harpa, co-owned by Haraldur Thorleifsson
