Sony in conjunction with its Sony Masterworks brand will be releasing 'very soon' a new James Horner Tribute album possibly featuring many solo artists.
Here is the NEWS FLASH and some behind the scene samples featuring (Cocoon & Avatar) from Solo artist Tina Guo:
Interesting. Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone must have been a big seller for Sony. I wonder what Ms. Guo thinks of playing Horner's music over Zimmers'? It certainly would be a big change.
I saw Tina live when she toured with Zimmer last year (and came here to Oslo). Talented girl, although the big 'hooplah' and crossover glitz remind me of Vanessa Mae? Remember her?
Regardless, looking forward to this tribute album.

The Yo Yo Ma/Morricone album was a long time ago back when there was actual revenue from recordings.
I took cello lessons as a kid. Never did my teacher tell me I needed to whip my head around orgasmically when I played. I could have been a contender!
I saw the Zimmer tour. I always wondered though what this music would sound like on solo cello with strobe lights.

Indeed, today, recordings are more likely to recommend an artist's concerts. There is no money to be made from releasing recordings. The major labels may still make some income through streaming, but only because they have such an enormous back catalogue. Streaming pays little, though I wonder why labels allow their music to be streamed so cheaply. Probably because it's either that or nothing. Sad times for music recordings.
