(Music Sales America). Six original compositions for solo piano, by Michael
Nyman, from the award winning film by Jane Campion. English composer Michael
Nyman has developed into one of the most popular, if not important, composers of
film music, and his film score for the 1992 film The Piano is without doubt the
most famous and familiar of his compositions. The tone of Campion's film is
perfectly emphasised by Nyman's style and though much here is beautiful and
rich, it is a haunting and foreboding sound picture that reflects the greys of
sea, sky and spirit.
