November 30^th, 2005 (2:39pm) - Inon Zur, the award-winning composer behind the soundtrack of Prince or Persia Warrior Within, has returned to conduct the orchestrated score for Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia The Two Thrones. Zur conducted the Hollywood Studio Symphony Orchestra at the Eastwood Scoring Stage, Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California. The team members for Zur’s recording session included: Simon Pressey – Ubisoft Artistic Audio Director, Dori Amarilio - mixing engineer and co-producer, Paul Taylor – orchestration and music preparation, Debbi Datz-Pyle - orchestra contractor, and Greg Deenan – Warner Bros. studio manager.

Simon Pressey, Artistic Audio Director said, "Inon has really out done himself; His music brings to life the dramatic emotion of the Prince of Persia’s epic story, seamlessly blending the powerful majestic beauty of the symphony with evocative, exotic eastern ethnic instrumentation that’s totally authentic for the world of the Prince. The Hollywood Studio Orchestra, unlike any other in the world, has an innate sense when interpreting music for picture; The result is spectacular and moving in the same instance. The professionalism of the crew at the Eastwood scoring stage is unparalled, and the sound indescribably beautiful."

Additionally, Zur collaborated with Stuart Chatwood, who composed the music for Prince of Persia The Sands of Time. Commenting on the collaborative component of the game’s score, Pressey added, "The combination of Stuart’s music that is laced with unforgettable melody and in-the-pocket ethnic groove, and Inon’s turn-on-a dime powerfully descriptive orchestration is making this the soundtrack that I’ve always wanted for the series. The collaboration between them has been wonderful with selfless exchange of ideas which makes for the sum being greater than the parts. I hope everyone enjoys the music as much as I am!"

Prince of Persia The Two Thrones will be available for the GameCube, PS2 and Xbox on December 1st.
