Highlights of the over 2 hours long record include a short, captivating "cello-concerto-like" version of "Final Ascent" from No Time to Die, a tranquil rendition of "A Time of Quiet Between the Storms" from Dune II, and a new romantic suite from The Prince of Egypt. Additionally, Zimmer revisits one of his classic '90s soundtracks with a newly crafted suite of The Rock.
The World of Hans Zimmer Part II: A New Dimension features Zimmer accompanied by a stellar ensemble of soloists and collaborators, including singers Lebo M, Lisa Gerrard, Gan-ya Ben-gur Akselrod, and Nokukhanya Dlamini; multi-woodwind wizard Pedro Eustache; bass player Juan García-Herreros; guitarist Alexios Anest; pianist Eliane Correa; cellist Mariko Muranaka; violinist Rusanda Panfili; and percussionists Aleksandra Šuklar, Luis Ribeiro, and Lucy Landymore.
