Nyman's Sublime Wonderland

Pablo Iglesias Alvarez | Mexico City, D.F. Mexico | 09/24/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The score written by Michael Nyman for Michael Winterbottom's film "Wonderland" is one of the most simple and yet sublime pieces I've ever heard. It is incredible the way that Nyman expresses such intense emotions from seemingly so simple and probably unpromising materials. This is mature Nyman at his best, far from the dazzling neo-baroque exercises for the Greenaway films (great they were indeed), the british composer writes now in a less spectacular manner but defintively in a deeper and more senstitive way. His orchestrations are here delightfully thin, almost ethereal (relying mostly on strings), while some piano solo's become pristine poetry.With Wonderland Nyman has achievd beauty in simplicity, with music that goes, rather than to our ears ... straight to our hearts."

Wonderful

"I have three Nyman CDs (Gattaca, Drowning by Numbers, and this one) and find them to be uniformly amazing. All of these CDs delight me with their lushness and unparalleled evocativeness. In Gattaca you can hear fiery determination. In Drowning by Numbers you can hear overwhelming desperation and sorrow interspersed with joyful innocence. In this CD you hear a wistful..sometimes restless.. yearning. Don't buy this CD if you dislike subtleties: you will find not only that the main themes are repeated in only moderately different settings, but also that variations within songs are very subtle (eg, there are perhaps only three loud crescendos on the entire CD). Do buy this CD if you enjoy truly beautiful and evocative music."

"The movie reflects both the subtle and not so subtle compexities of life. The music, mysteriously added an amazing warmth and grounding in quintessential opposition to what was going on in the movie itself. It was always this music that held me. It is beautiful.... An amazing mixture of elements...."
