About the Artist

Born in London in 1944, Nyman studied at the Royal Academy of Music and King’s College, London. Apart from his student works he began composing in 1976 for a production of Goldoni’s Il Campiello and has composed continuously since then. His works include film scores, operas, concertos, string quartets, orchestral and vocal music. Nyman’s music has reached its largest audience through his film scores, most notably for Peter Greenaway, with whom he collaborated on 11 movies (including The Draughtsman’s Contract, Drowning by Numbers), Jane Campion (The Piano), Volker Schlöndorff (The Ogre), Neil Jordan (The End of the Affair) and Michael Winterbottom (Wonderland, The Claim, 9 Songs, A Cock and Bull Story).

Michael’s latest venture is the launch of his own record label – MN Records (www.mnrecords.com). The label opened in Spring 2005 with 'The Piano Sings’ the composer’s debut solo piano album. This was followed by a recording of the acclaimed opera Man and Boy:Dada, his latest soundtrack for director Laurence Dunmore’s The Libertine, and the initial three titles in a series of definitive edition/new recordings of his most celebrated soundtrack work under the heading “The Composer’s
Cut’.
