 Rating: - Best of Michael NymanThis truly is Michael Nyman's best works over an extensive period of time. This collection shows the range of his compositions and it is beautifully recorded. For any Michael Nyman fan this is a "must have"! Rating: - What a couple : Nyman - Greenaway!The films of Peter Greenaway are the perfect sum of craftsmanship : text , painting , photography , a minimalist script and frenetic exuberance .
