5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Music and Recording, August 22, 2003
By 
Carte1964 (Hartford, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: String Quartets 2 3 & 4 (Audio CD)
Great selection of Nyman's non-soundtrack music. The CD includes his:

-Complete 6-movement String Quartet No. 2
-Complete 1-movement String Quartet No. 3
-5 Selected movements of the String Quartet No. 4
-Two ensemble pieces arranged for the Quartet
-Two ensemble pieces arranged by Simon Haram for the Quartet and joined by members of the Michael Nyman Band

Considered a "minimalist" (a term that some credit Nyman with coining during his years as a critic), his music is amongst the most interesting of the genre and Nyman's interest and love of the Baroque is especially evident here in String Quartet No. 2 & 3.

I also love "In Re Don Giovanni", which is Nyman's take on sixteen bars of music from Leporello's aria "Madamina, il catalogo e questo" from Don Giovanni.

Wonderfully recorded and played. A must have for any Nyman fan and a great introduction to a great Composer for others.
