One and only one of Nyman´s music wonderful appeal is that his compositions start and end just because...they are all eternally flowing. If there ever was a Music of the Spheres as the ancients claimed it moved the universe, Nyman´s music could well lay claim to be it.
Personally I think that Drowning By Numbers (from which this is taken) and The Draughtsman`s Contract are two of the most perfect fusion of film and soundtrack ever. (I always was posy) Shame Nyman and Greenaway had a spat.
de las piezas alegres y calmadas de Michael Nyman en drowning by numbers! Curioso, en TVE era el fondo de un anuncio de una compañía de seguros donde se veía las imágenes de una ballena saltando, lo que hay que aguantar!
Unfortunately I don't have a video of it, although I do have a copy of the CD, "The Kiss and Other Movements", which includes a very good version of this and two other movements from "Water Dances".
Hi SOS.First, sorry for my bad english. I write you from Spain. I wants to ask you where do you found the videos of the concert recorded in Ampuero. I´m very interestede because ¡¡I was there, at that concert, concretely in the firs seats¡¡ and it was incredible . The concert were orgnizated to collect money to restoration of church in wich concert was, cause it is attacked by "mal de la piedra" (stone disease. Can you say me if I can buy or download the record of that concert???. thnk y fr al
Wow, you're so lucky - I'd have loved to have been there. The video clips are all from a VHS cassette, "Michael Nyman Band - Live in Concert", which has never been released online or on DVD. Sadly, there seem to be very few copies left for sale now, although it can still be found at various European online retailers - mine came from Amazon UK, who appear to have one left.
Thak you for your reply. hope that in the future somebody decides edit on dvd that concert. At least we have that wonderful collection of video clips tht you share with us. Thank for it. Now you are a friend of mine. Saludos desde España!!!!
I love Nyman.

Funny, i can never hear the piano. Beautiful little piece of music, "Drawning by numbers" is my favourite film of all times
Semente200 3 years ago 2
Yes, me too. Either it is actually a harpsichord, or the piano is somehow prepared, or this the wrong film at all.

Spirit of Solace(S.O.S.), do you have "An eye for optical theory" video?I need as much as air!
furichisthebest 4 years ago
No, but there's a recording of the piece from a 2007 concert here on Youtube (video ID: Gn6UlDQedgc) - not quite complete, but still very good.

Yeah, Greenaway has never been able to achieve the same brilliance since the falling-out; although that's not the only reason.
Drowning by Numbers and Zed & Two Noughts are both masterpieces. Two of my favorite films ever made.

Glad you enjoyed it! These videos are all from a concert performed in Ampuero, Spain in 1996 (I think).

Way to go with the english grammar, TARZAN.
Sorry, your cause seems well-intended, I also appreciate Mr. Nyman's compositions, and old churches.
Best regards from Madrid.
