Year : 1996
When recommending a small portion from a body of work as varied as that of Greek composer Vangelis, one runs the risk of sounding biased. That being said, "Portraits" - a collection of some of his 'greatest hits' including a few of his best co-written songs with Yes frontman Jon Anderson - is an excellent introductory album for the new listener while also containing enough rarities to please the devoted fan. A must-have for any new age/synthesizer aficionado.
Personal Picks : "To The Unknown Man", "Italian Song", "Conquest Of Paradise" and "Antarctica".
