Michael Nyman est celui qui m'a fait aimer la musique répétitive quand en 1985 je suis allé écouter Memorial joué dans la Centrale Électrique de Yainville. Un choc extraordinaire, depuis je suis un fan absolu !
This is my favorite music piece. When people ask me what my favorite song is, I tell them, I don't have a favorite song. it is a music piece. But it is more than a music piece.
@@SimonSimon-rn3tm No way you'd waste 4 minutes of your life listening to something you hear as "arrant rot". You probably didn't actually listen to this. I feel sorry for you and your extremely bad need to get an interaction from people. But here is one for you, enjoy, I hope you can join the happy people soon.
What an amazing piece of music! It has everything. Drama - melody - pathos. Building....and building.....and building.....and building - *up to it's dramatic finale!* 4.14 minutes of pure bliss. *Bravo!....Michael Nyman and his orchestral players!*
Totally agree! Pure genius in 99.9% of his works. Same goes for his orchestra. My life is totally enriched by Michael Nyman's music and I will never tire of it. Long live the Maestro
I'm sure the orchestra did hundreds of repetitions, rehearsals before the performance but they seem very passionate and tremendously engaged to the harmony.
@philfasquel3095 il y a 1 seconde One of my favourite pieces of music ever. I was lucky enough to see it played live and it was amazing. I want this at my funeral.
I'm not as musically knowledgeable as many of the commentators here, so forgive my clumsy thoughts. What absolutely grabs my heart with this piece is the way he sets up the layers so that even when you hear a new one, you are still aware of the others interacting so beautifully. I get so fully immersed in this, privately my hands and head are bobbing all over the place! My favourite piece of music! Used to be "Chasing sheep is best left to shepherds", but this edges it! As an aside, when you realise how rich this piece is and what goes on in it, it's astonishing that it's only about 4 minutes long!
No offense, but musically there is absolutely nothing going on in most of Michael Nyman's compositions. To a well educated musician (classical or modern) this is kindergarten level. Having said this, art is not measured by the complexity of a piece. It is measured by the impact on the viewer or listener. Nyman has developed a style that excites despite its simplicity and technical emptiness. And that is absolutely fine, no matter what some critics have to say about it. I enjoy his music and so do you. That is all that matters.
I just listened to the original -> Cold Song Purcell and thought where did I hear this before ? it is the beautiful music in the opening scene of The cook, the thief, the wife and the lover, a very brilliant arrangement of the Cold song
Я тоже считаю фильм гениальным. Кто не знает - Повар, вор, его жена и ее любовник. Увидела первый раз примерно в 1990 году в Москве на кинофестивале. Недавно несколько фильмов Гринуэя посмотрела, вообще не поняла о чем,не доросла. Музыка в фильме до сих пор восхищает, прямо замираю. Данное исполнение совсем не понравилось
Why no new concerts? 😢 that's something incredible, like we are living in the same era with Tchaikovsky and we do not have access to it. I want to listen Nyman and his band numerous times. Why are you doing this to me to us, it's like giving a wonderful dose and cutting it off suddenly😅
Мое личное наблюдение: достойные вещи (можно применить и обиходный эпитет - гениальные) случаются у человека не часто, может даже один раз в жизни - явно ангелы, а может и сам Господь вдохновляют. Таков фильм Гринуэя и музыка Наймана к нему. Данное исполнение, данный ролик - уровень ресторанных лабухов
Lots of comments here claim that this piece is based on Henry Purcell's "Cold Song," but in this interview Nyman says it's based on a chord progression he found in a requiem by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber. v=XEFi8f5QNU0
