The Sound of James Bond

Licenced to thrill

    Hofer Symphoniker | Ben Palmer | Dietmar Wunder

    The actors may change, but the car remains full of technical sophistication, the vodka martini always shaken, not stirred. The numbers 007 stand for the world's longest-running and most successful film series and have defined British coolness and cult status for over six decades. In 25 films, the infamous MI6 agent James Bond has managed to save humanity from the most menacing villains in the world's most exotic locations, while seducing the most exciting women along the way. Always accompanied by Miss Moneypenny, M and Q, and an inimitable soundtrack that made music history. Leading the way is the legendary title track, a classic among music intros, always providing the perfect soundscape in a casino or during breathtaking stunts.

    The soundtracks are the work of film music greats such as John Barry, David Arnold, and Hans Zimmer. Music's biggest stars have contributed to the catalog of iconic Bond songs, including Shirley Bassey, Louis Armstrong, Nancy Sinatra, Tina Turner, Tom Jones, and Adele. With a full orchestra, band, and two vocal soloists, the Kölner Philharmonie now offers the perfect stage for the James Bond sound.
