Format:Audio CD
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.

Format:Audio CD
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.

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

My last copy of "Conquest of Paradise" was stolen which does not surprise me as it is a great piece of music. I was worried that I would not be able to replace it but this c.d. Read more

Vangelis - 1492 Conquest of Paradise
This album by Vangelis is well worth buying at the price. I have listened to it a number of times and each time you pick up something different. Overall an excellent piece of work.

I'm a fan of the Bounty soundtrack from Vangelis but I think this one is even better. A perfect score, beautiful in so many places. Read more

Undoubtedly the best soundtrack ever made
Christopher Columbus was, of course, a villain. It's a pity the Caribs didn't eat him for lunch, with chianti. The movie "1492" isn't good either. Read more

Wonderful music to relax to
I bought this CD after I heard the main theme on Lyric FM. It is such evocative music, that one can listen to time and time again, without it ever becoming dated. Wonderful!

wonderful
Bought it for just one title song, but now it won't come out ( or is it I won't take it out) of my cd player on the car. Absolutely wonderful. Wish I had bought it before. Read more

Simply stunning soundtrack album from Vangelis.
I received this as a Christmas present way back in 1992 when it was released. I've been playing it on my hi-fi and in my car on and off since. Read more

An Undiscovered Gem of an album
It's a travesty that the film bombed, otherwise this soundtrack would definitely be more well known. This OST, for me is one of Vangelis' best works. Read more
