Based on the best-known pieces on the CD 'Conquest of Paradise', you might think the whole soundtrack would much bombastic over. But Vangelis simply invites with this soundtrack, as well as those to Blade Runner or Antarctica one to relax with his music, so nice and quiet and balanced comes across all the music. Who knows Vangelis music, will feel reminded by similar orchestration in small nuances times to scores of Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner. From last he uses here for example, something the local Klimpertöne, but overall the score to 1492 a great job with their very own class.
