The Composer's Cut Series Vol. II: Nyman/Greenaway Revisited

The Composer's Cut Series Vol. II: Nyman/Greenaway Revisited

The Composer's Cut Series Vol. II: Nyman/Greenaway Revisted is the second in a series of albums, all released on the same day, by Michael Nyman to feature concert versions of film scores, in this case, films of Peter Greenaway, and his 52nd release overall. The album is similar to The Essential Michael Nyman Band, although a number of tracks are on only one album or the other. In spite of being recorded in 1992, with the same lineup, Memorial is not the same performance as the one that appears on The Essential Michael Nyman Band or After Extra Time, which was recorded in Tokyo. This performance was recorded in London and is slightly less aggressively performed.

Famous quotes containing the words composer, cut, series and/or revisited:

    “A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians.”
    —Frank Zappa (1940–1994)

    “To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “And yet we constantly reclaim some part of that primal spontaneity through the youngest among us, not only through their sorrow and anger but simply through everyday discoveries, life unwrapped. To see a child touch the piano keys for the first time, to watch a small body slice through the surface of the water in a clean dive, is to experience the shock, not of the new, but of the familiar revisited as though it were strange and wonderful.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
