Klaus Badelt，德國人，2000年被他的老鄉Hans Zimmer看中并帶到了好萊塢，在Hans的MV工作室工作，協助Hans完成了《The Pledge 誓言》、《Hannibal 漢尼伯》、《Invincible 納粹制造》等電影的配樂。2002年，Klaus Badelt第一次獨立完成了電影《The Time Machine》的配樂，依靠一曲曲氣勢磅礴的樂曲，一鳴驚人，確立了自己在好賴塢的地位。隨后，Klaus Badelt再接再厲，在近幾年里譜寫了《K-19: The Widowmaker》、《The Recruit》、《Pirates of the Caribbean》、《Constantine》《無極》以及今年的《Poseidon 新海神號》。 Klaus Badelt 是近年來電影配樂的有名作曲家，先后為電影 Pearl Harbor(珍珠港), Hannibal(漢尼拔), Mission: Impossible II(不可能的任務2)以及 Gladiator(神鬼戰士)配樂。可謂是大有來頭。The Time Machine 的 OST 可以說是非常的雄偉壯闊，有些地方可以用驚天動地來形容(動態很大)。是那種典型的好萊塢管弦樂風格，這也繼承了 Klaus Badelt 作曲的風格。比如 Gladiator(神鬼戰士)和 Pearl Harbor(珍珠港)，第一首曲子 01.Professor Alexander Hartdegen 一上來就是氣勢恢宏的法國號群奏。從 Gladiator和The Time Machine 這兩張 OST 來看，Klaus Badelt 不但擅長管弦樂的配器，而且擅長穿插民族樂器，特別是打擊樂。另外，人聲合唱也是這兩張專輯的一大兩點，不過這點看來在 The Time Machine OST 裏表現得尤為突出，聽聽 08.Eloi 和 15.God Speed 就知道了，灑脫而感人肺腑的旋律簡直讓人欲罷不能...整個配樂基本上是圍繞兩個旋律在進行,一個是 01 中就可以聽到那段法國號群奏的旋律,另一個就是 08.Eloi 中的女聲合唱實在讓人動容。整張 CD 音質應該非常好，用來做試音碟都綽綽有余了。另外，提醒大家一下，聽 07.Time Traval 的時候小心不要被嚇到了。 Klaus Badelt (born 1967) is a German composer, best known for composing film scores. Life and career Badelt was born in Frankfurt, Germany. He started his musical career composing for many successful movies and commercials in his homeland. In 1998, Oscar-winning film composer Hans Zimmer invited Badelt to work at Media Ventures in Santa Monica, his studio co-owned by Jay Rifkin.

Having contributed music to Gladiator, Mission: Impossible 2 and Michael Kamen's score for X-Men, Badelt was involved in the three most successful movies in 2000. Badelt also collaborated with Zimmer on other successful films, such asThe Pledge, and 2001 blockbusters Hannibal and Pearl Harbor. One of his more famous and popular scores was for the 2003 film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.[2] Among Badelt's most critically celebrated scores are the Chinese fantasy film The Promise[3][4][5] and Dreamworks' remake of The Time Machine, the latter which earned him the Discovery of the Year Award at the World Soundtrack Awards 2003.
