In April 2006, a law firm representing the Holst Foundation filed a lawsuit claiming that Zimmer had infringed the copyright of composerGustav Holst'sThe Planets. The organization claimed that Zimmer copied Holst's track "Mars, the Bringer of War" in theGladiator score. The case was settled out of court.[16][17]
Film music critics have noted that theGladiator score also borrows from works byRichard Wagner, particularly themes fromSiegfried andGötterdämmerung.[citation needed]
In 2003, the singerLuciano Pavarotti released the albumTi Adoro, which includes the song "Il gladiatore" ("The Gladiator"). Pavarotti toldBillboard magazine that he was originally meant to sing this song forGladiator, but ultimately decided against it.[18]
Hello! According to our data, it's the Gladiator OST, which reached No.17 in 2000 – 351,000 sales.
