Nyman: Piano Music (LP)

Van Veen, Jeroen

90016

The LP version of a successful recording from the Brilliant Classics back-catalogue: Piano Music by Michael Nyman.

Michael Nyman (born 1944) is one of the most famous and successful film music composers of our time. His music, although inextricably connected with the visual action of a film, has the quality to stand on its own, to evoke and express the visual emotions in sounds only.

Nyman’s most famous film score is of the film “The Piano”, becoming an instant hit. Its openness and its deceptively simple musical lines appealed to a mass audience.

The music featured on this recording is either originally written for piano or arranged by the composer himself.

Minimal Music champion Jeroen van Veen has been fascinated by Nyman’s music his whole life, and the recording of it was a logical step. He is the ideal interpreter of this seductive, mind opening music.
