CD Reviews

If you are looking for a Contemporary Masterpiece...
Alexis Paez | Caracas, Venezuela | 12/22/1998
(5 out of 5 stars)

"then "The Man..." is a good example for this. I feel that Nyman achieves an important level of dexterity handling minimalism techniques. He makes a beautiful chamber opera with very touching melodies and themes using few instruments and voices, resulting in a pure and crystal sound. If you have not begun with contemporary music I'd reccommend you to start with this recording. Also, if you are interested in psychology and how a guy can fit in the world living only through music, you will place this recording among your favorites."

"A modern msterpiece by one of Britain's most undersung composers. This is however, a one act opera, which is probably why it isn't produced more often."
