We feel this is one of Horner's best scores, and it is an exquisite result of the wonderful creative collaboration between Horner and Gibson over many years.
Nominated for Best Original Score at the 68th Academy Awards, Horner used the London Symphony Orchestra and the album has gone on to be one of the most commercially successful soundtracks of all time. It was also nominated for a Saturn Award, BAFTA, and Golden Globe.
