レビュー (Amazon)Out of the dozens of high-profile film composers to have appeared in the 1980s, Michael Nyman has retained his unique voice like no other. This two-disc collection proves that with generous selections from a 20-year period. From the early Peter Greenaway works (
The Falls,
Drowning by Numbers,
Prospero's Books) through to Hollywood dabblings (
Gattaca,
Ravenous), his application of what he dubbed minimalism is constantly compelling. It was with
The Piano that Nyman's name became best known, so this is one of several projects given a short suite of their best cues. The flipside of acknowledging the popular works is the opportunity to present lesser-known material. This includes a track from his replaced score to
Practical Magic, the beautiful song "If" from a Japanese animated version of
The Diary of Anne Frank, and some powerful brass intonations in his stringless score for
The Ogre. More than a dozen other works are featured (you'll be hard-pressed to determine what's what from the confusing packaging), but it ends gloriously on Nyman's homage to Ennio Morricone for
The Claim. --
