http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maestro
Maestro (/'ma?stro?/; Italian: [ma'estro]) (from the Italian maestro, meaning "master" or "teacher"[1]) is a title of extreme respect given to a master musician. The term is most commonly used in the context of Western classical music and opera. This is associated with the ubiquitous use of Italian vocabulary for classical music terms. The title of maestro may be bestowed upon composers, performers, impresarios, music directors, conductors and music teachers.
In the Italian opera world, the term is not only used for the conductor, but also for musicians who act as répétiteurs and assistant conductors during performances (maestro sostituto or maestro collaboratore). Even the prompter (maestro suggeritore) can be referred to by this title. (There is no agreement on how to address a woman conductor, as the feminine equivalent maestra denotes "schoolmistress" in Italian.)
-certainly not a master musician, this definition of "maestro" is being generous for Zimmer.

Interestingly Mr. Williams received a lifetime achievement award at the Classic Brits last year.
Mr. Williams deserved it for sure.

I was thinking about his soundtracks written in last years.
Nearly all of them are milestones, and some of them can be rated as masterpiece, like recent beautiful MAN OF STEEL, but also INCEPTION and THE BIBLE for sure.
With special mention to THE DARK KNIGHT, the best score ever written in last five years.
This award is well reserved Maestro!
Well, for one I would think a composer would need to actually conduct his score to be called a 'maestro'. Second, to say Dark Knight is the best score in 5 years is absolutely ludicrous, moreso because it was neither an entirely original score, nor one that Zimmer composed alone. So seeing it is neither original, or the work of a single composer, and beyond that having a pretty repetitively droning theme - no not the best in five years by a long shot.
