1000% de acuerdo. La dupla Greenaway - Nyman esta mas alla de todo

What movie?

Mine too!

I find my zenith doth depend on a most auspicious star

Fulfillment my dear, an everlasting and blessed sensation of beatitude. Music and some films do transport us to places we never dreamed existed. Your description of it will be guarded as a jewel.

Allons ... Allons ... comme disait le père Maurer :

It's my favorite film too. It makes me ecstatic. I can't understand why it's so hard to find other people who love it. I recommended it to a friend in high school and his mother disapproved of it and told him he couldn't be friends with me anymore.

When I first rented it from the video store, it had to be paused because the phone rang, and while my mother was on the phone I had to run outside and sing what I could remember of the songs I'd just heard.

O. M MN looks like no oops o

Glad you like it!

The Lutenist Michael Schäffer (1937-1978).

It's a lute. This musician was a german lutenist.

Some sort of stringed instrument, I think.

Not a lute, but most probably a theorbo, a baroque plucked string instrument.

Grazia Cavasino Nyman himself arranged this suite for chamber orchestra. I prefer this one than the version performed by the Michael Nyman's Band.

Tastes are tastes and cannot be disputed. I was referring to the different relevance given to rhythm by Nyman when conducting his band - his emphasis on beats always amazes me.

+ sskoog I think all films by Greenaway are weak.

@@MrVektriol He's a horribly over-rated director. I remember a BBC documentary from the late 80s/early 90s that superimposed Greenaway's music over random footage from the archive. Presto! The Greenaway effect. Notice how PG's career peak ended when Nyman buggered off and he had to lean on his own visuals.

MrVektriol Greenaway films are usually very smart, meticulously thought out, full of references...... , generally too witty and intellectual for the general audience/ viewers And yes, Michael Nyman‘ s music and these films were a fantastic combination!

@@benpohl1 i dont know of greenaway but i would so say that michael nyman isnt appreciated enough

Oh, my! When I first saw Prospero's Books in the cinema in Chicago, I immediately found it just gorgeous -- hard to understand, but really wanted to own it to leave it playing always, as a piece of art. I found it really gorgeous. And, I've loved Michael Nyman's music since first hearing it in A Zed and Two Noughts, even as odd as that music was... totally memorable, for me.
