So, I grew up modifying the piano, shall we say, which made my mother gasp in horror, and my father would think it was fantastic when I would attach chainsaws and stuff like that to the piano because he thought it was an evolution in technology."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Hans Zimmer: The Computer Is My Instrument )〕 In an interview with the German television station ZDF in 2006, he commented: "My father died when I was just a child, and I escaped somehow into the music and music has been my best friend."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 ZDF Infokanal interview, June 2006 (in German with English subtitles) )〕 In a May 2014 interview, Zimmer said that he is Jewish, and recalled how his mother escaped to England in 1939.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Hans Zimmer: Proud to say ‘My people’ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hans Zimmer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
