For over a decade I adore this movie drama like no other. Nymans music accompanies the story not only, it is their basic substance: One hears the mournful lament of a lonely soul, expressed in a language that appears to be related of a Liszt or Rachmaninov of. Poetic Piano solos and the fineness of the instrumentation you often give the character of a reverie, Mozartian readily, fully harmonic twists. But again and again is of gentle resignation fervent protest, which is increased almost anthemic in the end.
Highlights are undoubtedly "The Heart asks Pleasure First" and "Big My Secret". - When did piano pieces ever held so effortlessly the balance between melancholy and playfulness? Musically interpreted brilliant and ecstatic, they take you into a world of lyrical aspirations and unyielding determination. "The Piano" - the work of a great master of a great movie.
