I’m not a huge fan of the soundtrack either. While the musicianship is definitely there it is very off putting hearing a heavy boroque score throughout the game.
There also seems to be a pattern in video game scores starting from early generations (post the midi piano concerto style) to modern:
~90-95 : Heavy ambient music
~95-00 : Ambient music + main themes
~00-05 : Heavy brass map (?) music + Heavy brass main themes + slight ambience
~05-10 : Heavy orchestral with small choir + Heavy orchestral main themes with small choir
~10-? : Heavy orchestral with 40 man choir + Heavy orchestral main themes with 40 man choir
