BuySoundtrax Records is proud to present THE FILM MUSIC OF MICHAEL NYMAN FOR SOLO PIANO featuring new piano performances by Joohyun Park. “I started this piano album by concentrating solely on music from THE PIANO,” said Park. “All music of Michael Nyman has stunning, beautiful and dynamic melodies and it really began to capture my attention. I wanted to record more of Nyman’s work after working on the pieces from THE PIANO.”

Though it was THE PIANO that launched Nyman in the US, his career had already been some three decades in the making by the release of the film that earned him a Golden Globe, and Ivor Novello, and BAFTA Award. Nyman studied at the Royal Academy of Music through the 1960s and, as a music critic, is credited with coining the musical term ‘minimalism.’ In the mid 1970s he began scoring films, most notably for director Peter Greenaway on films including THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE AND HER LOVER, DROWNING BY NUMBERS, and THE DRAUGHTSMAN'S CONTRACT. Nyman’s film credits also include THE LIBERTINE, THE END OF THE AFFAIR, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, CARRINGTON and GATTACA.
