I have not encountered much of his work before, but I do like this one. This score emphasizes the use of woodwind instruments. Oboe and harp play very important roles in the main theme. The tracks are generally soft and gentle. Some tracks sounds like the others. When I am listening to certain tracks, I feel like I am watching National Geographic or animal wild life on Discovery Channel. The total time of the score is very short. The rest of the CD is filled with six songs.
