Conquest 1453 Soundtrack [2012]

The most expensive Turkish film ever made, FETIH (or Conquest 1453) is a historical epic about the Osman Turks’ successful siege of Constantinople in the year 1453, leading to the replacement of the Byzantine Empire with the Ottoman and the renaming of the city to Istanbul. Somewhat unsurprisingly, it is depicted entirely from the Turkish point of view, centered around Sultan Mehmet as the protagonist – and in Turkey, the film was released at exactly 14:53. Rather than hire a compatriot for this patriotic film, however, director Faruk Aksoy sought the services of one Benjamin Wallfishch to provide the score. Wallfisch is best-known in the film score industry for his orchestration work, notably on several of Dario Marianelli's works. Conquest 1453 marks his first major effort as a composer, and it is a promising one indeed.

Conquest 1453, also known as Fetih 1453 is a Turkish film, but not any Turkish film. It’s the most successful film ever in Turkey. In 1453, the Byzantine capital of constantinople is surrounded by Ottoman Turks. The city is a mere shadow of it’s former self, but there will be battle. The score is composed by Benjamin Wallfisch.
