Michael Nyman – conductor

Mr Nyman is a truely peerless composer who brings together modern classical style and a Baroque period composer and displays much attention to detail - and is replete with infinite finesse and passion. No prizes for guessing which is the prize track on this soundtrack CD, but despite the paucity of it, it does the job well by selling this CD as a trip to the fantastical, brain wave enhancing environs of Baroque Territory. Within the confines of this territory one is compelled to take on the guise of a Sybarite music fan who simply cannot be satisfied. For me, the seller would have to be 'An Eye For Optical Theory' which is nothing less than the apogee of film soundtracks! I have produced modern electronica myself and I have to say I am very tempted to emulate this track in a 21st century style reworking. Baroque music is a force to be reckoned with and must be included in any modern day appreciation of the classical music tradition. --- GABRIEL C., amazon.com
