5 out of 5 stars movie soundtrack   June 27, 2008
katie (syracuse, new york)
This is a wonderful movie soundtrack. Some soundtracks have selections that are not as good as others and you wish they didn't even include them in the album. But this whole cd is great with beautiful piano music.


5 out of 5 stars Original music score!   February 13, 2008
Candide (Atlanta, GA)
Michael Nyman does a great job. Gattaca and The Piano are both very original.


2 out of 5 stars Nothing like the movie.   January 14, 2008

You would think that a CD about the film The Piano would feature, (dare I suggest it!)um, piano music but instead, this CD featured some wierd chamber music that really should stay there--in a chamber. Discordant, directionless and eerie, I was very dissapointed. The film was terrific but the CD was not.


5 out of 5 stars Easy listening   January 11, 2008

For eleven dollars you get 17 relaxing tracks of piano. Michael Nymen is one talented composer. The movie was great and combined with the soundtrack, supergreat. When I play the CD I can see the scenes and feel the drama and power of the screenplay. I'm looking for more music in this vein.


5 out of 5 stars Amazingly Beautiful Masterpiece!   September 14, 2007
M. Slater (NY)
Nyman at his most excellent best! This piano intrumental has it's own heart warming unique musical soul. Like the birth and life of a tiny bird it is born of its own right, grows with great stength and love and takes flight into heavenly sound! They keys and violins will find your deepest sorrows and then release you with an angel's dream.
