Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: An excellent soundtrack Comment: The multi-million selling "1492: Conquest of Paradise" is another musical masterpiece from Vangelis. Christopher Columbus's first voyage from Spain to the Bahamas, Hispaniola and Cuba was a truly significant and momentous event in human history. The film, directed by Ridley Scott and released to mark the 500th anniversary of this journey, is greatly enhanced through this accompanying music. Every track in this 55 minute CD is quality and there's great variety - for example, the gravitas of the maritime sounding "Conquest of Paradise", the Latin hymns of "Monastery of La Rabida", the Hispanic atmosphere in "Deliverance", the regal air that is created in "City of Isabel", the innocence of the indigenous peoples and the beauty of their existence in "Eternity" and the subsequent ethnic tension and conflict skilfully captured by "Moxica and the Horse". It's also worth mentioning "Hispaniola". This song is a sonic force of nature that blends Flamenco, latin and tribal elements to create a wonderful sense of destiny and a turning point in history. It's no surprise that music from this album has been used by others in a diverse number of fields such as sport and politics all over the world. Overall, a must have soundtrack. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Soundtrack Comment: The soundtrack is a collection of beautiful pieces of music and it is a wonderful listen. Each track tells its own story yet they seamlessly intertwine and seem to be a natural progression . well worth purchasing Customer Rating: Summary: One of the best movie music CD's Comment: If you ever saw the movie (who did't??) you must agree with me that the music was awesome. This is one of those CD's that have been composed very well and even without the movie you get a very good picture in your mind what's going on. There is one song where I just imagine the 'Pinta', 'Niña' and the 'Santa Maria' sailing through the rought seas towards the new world...really gripping. Even after so many years I still play this CD on a regular basis. Stronly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: Muisc to relax to Comment: I don't normally buy soundtrack albums but this music was composed by Vangelis who is a master at his work. You can imagine the scenes - the drama and the melodic scores are just what you need to sit down, relax and as another reviewer has said, drink a glass of wine (or fruitjuice) - it just transports you away to distant shores. A very good buy. Customer Rating: Summary: Soo Cool Comment: This music is so easy to listen to and relax. There is the feeling of history and the toil and danger, but never a feeling of depression.
