Music reviews of Christopher Columbus: The Discovery - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Review: Eidelman's finest work is a wonderful epic score
Rating: 5 Stars
Orchestral scores of this quality are few and far between these days. Eidelman's score has power, majesty and sensitivity expertly interwoven, without resorting to the dreaded, monotonous synth tones that all to often pass as dramatic music. This will appeal to admirers of Delerue, Friedhofer and Rozsa far more than fans of, say, Zimmer. It is refined but never short of colorful orchestral flourishes and is rich in drama.
It would be a mistake to disregard this score due to the poor quality of the film itself. The music is an enthralling listen in its own right.
The CD has excellent sound and deserves maximum marks for presenting an outstanding score by a much underestimated and extremely skilled composer.
