Michael Nyman: The Piano presents six original solo piano compositions from Jane Campion’s award-winning 1992 film The Piano. Written by acclaimed English composer Michael Nyman, this collection captures the essence of his most celebrated and widely recognised score.
Nyman, one of the most important voices in contemporary film music, perfectly mirrors the tone of Campion’s haunting drama. His music blends lyrical beauty with a foreboding sense of tension, creating a sound world that reflects the greys of sea, sky, and human spirit.
These pieces remain some of the most iconic works in modern film music and offer pianists a chance to experience the richness and intensity of Nyman’s minimalism at the keyboard. A timeless collection for both performers and admirers of cinematic music.
