The Zoo Duet - Michael Nyman: Music For Two Pianos (2004)

Posted By: Designol

Date: 6 Sep 2023 16:49:42

Released shortly after the composer's 60th birthday, this album from The Zoo Duet presents works that deserve to be better known. Taking a line for a second walk is vintage Nyman, conceived originally as an orchestral work for Houston Ballet in 1966 and transcribed for two amplified pianos without any loss of its hypnotic intensity. Water Dances began life as music for Peter Greenaway's film Making A Splash and receives its premiere recording in its five-movement form on this disc.

Review by Music Week

Alongside Ludovico Einaudi, Nyman is the world's foremost composer for contemporary piano. But unlike his Italian compadre, Nyman delights in pushing back the frontiers of new compostion. His music is romantic, at times chaotic and always inventive. This collection features three pieces, an orchestral work, a five-movement piece for film and a delightful five-minute interlude.

Review by The Shropshire Star

Perhaps the most important aspect of Michael Nyman’s music is that it requires little in the way of explanation. It may be interesting to note that Taking a line for a second walk began life in 1986 as an orchestral work from the Houston Ballet, or that Water Dances—originally written for Peter Greenaway’s film Making a splash and appearing here in its five-movement form for the first time—is in part derived from a chord progression taken from a Monteverdi madrigal. Like the best classical , jazz or pop music, Nyman’s output does stand up to closer analysis, but the secret of its appeal lies not in the field of the academic, but rather in its ability to speak to a large and culturally diverse audience.

Nyman is one of the key figures in a nameless movement which has revolutionised contemporary classical music over the last twenty years. ‘Art music’ has undergone a seachange and composers have emerged with the technical ability and the self-confidence to demonstrate that it is possible to write progressive and challenging new music without alienating a large part of the classical audience, while attracting an even broader rock-and poporientated public.

This group of composers has effectively dismantled the barriers which were perceived to have existed between the worlds of classical and popular music, but no-one has played a greater role in bridging this divide than Michael Nyman. He has combined Purcell and Mozart, 1950s rock ‘n’ roll, ancient Sumerian quasi-feminist texts, Queens Park Rangers Football Club and innumerable other diverse musical and cultural sources to produce a style of composition which is romantic, eclectic, occasionally chaotic, but uniquely his own.
