    • The ultimate piano library

    In his fourth collaboration with Spitfire Audio, legendary Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer presents the ultimate piano library. A personal favourite of Hans himself, this beautiful instrument bursting with life, depth, and character is the in-house grand piano at Lyndhurst Hall at AIR Studios, one of the best scoring stages in the world. Expertly recorded by Hans' renowned engineers and the award-winning Spitfire team, this library embodies what Hans described as a 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity to create a world-class piano writing tool for discerning composers the world over.

    Whenever we finish a session at AIR, I come into The Hall and just sit down at the piano and start playing. ‘Time’ was written here for 'Inception'. This is one of the most beautiful pianos I know, in one of the most beautiful halls. That’s why we did it — because it always inspired me.
