Music reviews of The Piano: Original Music From The Film By Jane Campion
Music Review: The Piano Soundtrack
Rating: 5 Stars
This is very unique piano music, kind of like a mix of folksy and classical. Some of the songs are soulful and moving, others are playful and uplifting. I loved this music so much, I bought the book of sheet music. It is above my limited skill as a pianist, but I want to play these songs so badly, I am motivated to practice.
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
