Michael Nyman - Prospero's magic

[@bellyofanarchitect]

What a masterpiece of a film. First watched it in Virginia when released. About 30 people took place. After half an hour I was alone. Americans just have no sense for arthouse films.

[@Steven-vo4ee]

No doubt today there would be protests over its screening… Michelangelo’s David is now considered “pornographic”….

[@plicketyplunk]

One of my favourite films and soundtracks and I am🇨🇦

[@aerodynamism5438]

Saw this movie tonight, and I am incredibly moved. It's thing of a pure beauty.

[@dawidp8805]

I love that there's no intro, no buildup or anything, the music just explodes into existence.

[@JamesPawson]

Well.. watch the movie though. Haha, there were clips on youtube, but it's way too... much. Just too much for youtube. Peter Greenaway and Michael Nyman are the higher consciousness version of Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer.

[@butinone]

Check Monteverdi's Orfeo opening fanfare, very similar and possibly an inspiration for Nyman

[@abigaillkruss8823]

Oh woow, that's true 🤘

[@nimos1]

A great film by Peter Greenaway that is hardly ever shown and massively underrated.

[@danielkarmy4893]

I discovered this piece when I was 19, or 20. For a short time I loved it; for some years after that, I disavowed it. Recently I've been listening to it more often, and I feel - now at 28 - that I am at last approaching some understanding of its beauty. That beauty was always there; I was unable to comprehend it. This is perhaps a fitting metaphor for life: back then, I knew exactly why I liked this piece of music, and I knew the meaning of each detail. Now, each time I listen, I discover something new, I find myself being led down a different path in my imagination - I know that I may never know it all. And I love that. In our youth, it seems, we are doggedly convinced that we are the teacher; experience and maturity bring with them the heartening appreciation of that fact that we are forever students of this life.

[@lukevankleef4245]

To me, it sounds both remorseful yet triumphant. As if a tragedy has occurred, yet you're granted a great sense of hope. Fitting I suppose, given the movie its used in.

[@pablostofblat7551]

100% agree

[@ledylanclair]

The film is truly a masterpiece. It is incredibly inspirational.

[@billybareblu]

It is quite a work of art.

[@alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

The film is amazing. The music fits it perfectly.

[@gurdimeikenskjaldi5060]

I have fond memories of this piece because in the RAI, the italian state television, it was used a bunch of times in old documentaries. In particular, it's often part of the soundtrack of a series of documentaries about WWII hosted by journalist Gianni Bisiach. I tried for years to find what this music piece was ^^

[@alicinamalditutto2171]

The rai's documentary was called "la grande storia in prima serata"... I remember too this soundtrack of some episodes.

[@IndyJov]

I've loved this track since I first saw the film in over 20 years ago. Timeless!

I've been watching this movie on the small screen of my TV. This year, the movie was shown in theaters again, and I watched this song and video on a big screen and at high volume. I was so moved by the movie that this song kept playing in my head even after I left the theater.

[@nyrongristwood]

John Gielgud's finest performance and it was the role he always excelled in The movie is a masterpiece and if you watch it, look carefully at the procession they are all vignettes of great characters of history

[@derinformationstechniker4507]

The best Greenaway-movie ever! The best Nyman-music ever!

[@derinformationstechniker4507]

The best Shakespear ever!

[@nyrongristwood]

I totally agree with all three It can only be truly appreciated in the cinema The richness of both sound and colour Watch the video that describes all the characters in the march its fascinating

On of my favourite films - But the ultimate would be the action and music with Gielgud's droning monologue omitted. That old pseud's voice almost destroys the film.

[@erzal83]

Let's do it

[@tobukobuta]

I highly recommend "M-Work"

[@ogleogre]

erzal83 I was just listening to his piece titled 'Fish Beach' a few minutes ago and thought you mighy be interested. The music was used in another Greenaway film called 'The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover'. I hope you enjoy it :-)

+Marcos Funes Peralta scioli nunca podra destruir con su mero marketing todo lo que esta sinfonia despierta, negroncho.

[@marcosfunesperalta1986]

+toravamarto Debo interpretar el "negroncho" como una agresión? Acaso se trata de un insulto que liga implícitamente a los morochos con la preferencia electoral por el clientelismo del FPV? Mi comentario fue solo una aclaración de que esta bellísima pieza de Nyman fue usada por Scioli en su spot publicitario; no lo voté ni lo votaría nunca. Coincido con Ud. en que el poder de esta música magnífica no se compara en absoluto con el marketing nefasto del paupérrimo candidato oficialista. Qué pena que la descalificación sea moneda corriente en esta sociedad. Lo saluda fraternalmente un melómano que vota por la Argentina del cambio.

[@toravamarto]

+Marcos Funes Peralta sinceramente, solo buscaba pelea en youtube, hace mucho no me divertia haciendolo, pero que picardia, parece que me equivoque. por favor, sepa disculpar la molestia y no se sienta aludido por mi comentario anterior.

I gotta say, at that time I’d like to meet Kanye

[@tapeshaft]

Can someone tell me what instrument is taking the lead with the long notes? It sounds like a woodwind of some sort, but I don't know what.

[@findlesplurb]

I *think* it's an English horn (actually a reed instrument, not brass), and it's doubled with a trumpet, maybe with a saxophone playing along as well? I could be wrong, but I think it's something like that.
