Michael Nyman - The Heart Asks Pleasure First / The Promise
The Piano: Music From The Motion Picture (1993)
Heard this for the first time today in the car. I absolutely love it. I had to pull over to listen to it properly. I've never seen The Piano but this beautiful theme makes me want to. There are cues that almost certainly influenced John Lunn and his Downton Abbey theme music.
The cd i was listening to was a freebie from Total Film magazine from 2001. What a track listing -
The Italian Job: Getta Bloomin' Move On
Batman: Main Theme
Casablanca: Suite
Get Carter: Carter Takes A Train
From Russia With Love: Main Theme
The Exorcist: Tubular Bells
Jurassic Park: Suite
The Magnificent Seven: Suite
The Piano: Main Theme....and many more.
