Just finished listening to the whole score. It is mostly fantastic. Epic, powerful, and dynamic.
The main theme not as addicting and powerful as Planet Earth II, but better written, a bit more sophisticated, and just feels right for the subject matter.
Besides that, some of the best cues are the ones with vocals like "Surfing Dolphins," "A Forest Awakens," and "Ducks And Currents."
If you are looking for the more of a Zimmeresque cue, check out "Walrus: The Right Piece of Ice," which reminds me of many Zimmer solemn ending pieces like "Home" from The Lone Ranger.
Just as I suspect, the best Zimmer score this year.

How much of it is actually Zinmmer's work? Just the main or end title, or did he compose more tracks this time?

Any idea what the deep didgeridoo-like instrument is in A Forest Awakens?
Just finished watching the serie today and I'm really sad since there is alot of great material not released in the soundtrack I wish one day the complete soundtrack released for this " the greatest documentary ever" for me.

I bought a 2CD version. It's, to my experience, very complete.

Planet Earth II has a 2CD release, but Blue Planet II?

Some good music here but would be so much better if Zimmer hadn't had to homogenize it all again. He is a shameful corporation.
Beautiful score, perfectly fitting. Reminds me a little of 'The Land Before Time' feeling. Really like the theme, subtle but lovely. I also like how there is less tracks and the tracks are longer than PEII with a bit more weight. Too many short cues in the PEII soundtrack to really get into as a whole.

the shorter presentation here was better, surprisingly

Any news for an official release of the 'Ocean Bloom' song?
This score, I have to say, moves me more than Planet Earth II did. Planet Earth II really pushed the "let's have an epic theme," which was fine, but said epic theme was kind of...generic. This theme sounds like more thought was put into it, and it sounds like Zimmer had a bit more of an imprint on this score, too. It's nice to hear some unabashedly melodic stuff from him in an era where experimenting with soundscapes seems to have become his thing.*
*yes, I'm waiting for disagreement on that last sentence... ;)

Surfing Dolphins = Celebrate The Oscars v3? lol
This is a really fun, big thoughtful score and the orchestrations are beautiful.

I'm just curious to know just how involved he was this time. He was pretty busy this year so its hard for me to imagine that he had a lot of time to have serious involvement. Although I hope I'm wrong haha, it'd be a nice to get a melodic movie score from him again. This is great!

It is also worth noting that Jasha Klebe wrote additional music for this score.
I think Zimmer did more this time than last time. Last time, it specifically stated that he only did the main theme. But with that said, I have a feeling most of it was him guiding rather than actually writing much.

George, well, he no doubt did "The Blue Planet." (Watch me be wrong...)
He also, at least, co-wrote a track with Radiohead. But notice that, unlike Planet Earth II, it says, "Score by Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea, and David Fleming." Planet Earth II had "theme by Hans Zimmer" as a separate heading.

Zimmer definitely wrote "The Blue Planet." In BBC's behind the scenes video, only Zimmer's name was on the cuesheet.

Agreed that this is a lovely score. However, some parts of it sound very Edward Scissorhands to me. The Family Theme in particular.

Yeah, love hearing some orchestral melodic stuff again - still pretty minimal but I like that. I think the PEII theme fit that perfectly, and this theme does too. Puts you right into the big blue.
