Album Notes
Australian import.
Vangelis is one of the most famed composers of film music, and with 1492 he adds another superior soundtrack to a discography that includes such classics as CHARIOTS OF FIRE and BLADE RUNNER. The soundtrack to a film that recounts Christopher Columbus's journey and discovery of America, 1492 has all the grandeur and scope one would associate with the film's topic. As per usual, Vangelis employs various electric and acoustic elements, including synthesizer, live orchestra, and a choir.
The results are heard to fine effect on the swelling title track, on moody pieces like "Light and Dark," and on delicately atmospheric tracks like "Deliverance." The range of instrumental textures and colorations keeps the listening lively, and the album is sequenced in such a way that the pieces have a real continuity, merging from one to the next and creating the aural equivalent of Columbus's voyage. For all of its historic import and cinematic sweep, Vangelis's music is quite thoughtful and relaxing, and 1492 makes a fine selection for headphone listening and internal movie-making.
