Music reviews of The Piano: Original Music From The Film By Jane Campion
Music Review: Haunting music that lives inside you...
Rating: 5 Stars
This CD has quickly become one of my favorites. I discovered the movie quite by accident just a short time ago, even tho it has been out for over 15 years. I just never had the chance to see it then. But it has since become one of my top 10 favorite movies. The soundtrack is just one of the reasons this movie continues to be a favorite of many. Beautiful music that seems to live inside you....
Description of The Piano: Original Music From The Film By Jane Campion
Michael Nyman came of age as a classical composer in the radical London of the late '60s. His work embraces multiple vernaculars (jazz, avant garde, conceptual art) and helped cement the foundation of what came to be known as minimalism. Decades into his career, Nyman's score to Jane Campion's film The Piano made him a star. The movie's themes of colonialism and silence (its protagonist, portrayed by Holly Hunter, cannot speak) were perfectly aligned with his longtime interests in world and ambient music. Horn players assist members of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra in fleshing out Nyman's stately, hymn-like motifs. On the more heavily orchestrated cues, sentimentality wins out over minimalist restraint; the best tracks feature Nyman on solo piano, playing the rudimentary, faux period repertoire of Hunter's character. --Marc WeidenbaumMinimal Techno CDs
