I have heard very little of his music so far, only in some of the Tarkovsky films like Stalker which I adore.

This theme for Urga: Close to Eden is beautiful, I must watch the film one of these days - https://youtu.be/_U_DOuAWz4g He always seems to utilise a rich mix of styles and instrumentation.

Just stumbled on his Siberiade theme [1] recently, I hadn't listened to it in a couple of years, it hit me back hard how great this music is, even genius-like, I would say. There's a slightly re-mastered version by PPK [2] that manages to "increase" that genius a little. Amazing stuff.
