All Imperfect Things - Solo Piano Music of Michael Nyman

In her third solo album release,
Sally delves into the postmodern.  In her own words...

"Reinvention. Reclamation. Remixing.  This is, at
least in some part, the essence of postmodernism in music. It's particularly true of the work of British composer
Michael Nyman who appropriates everything from Purcell and Chopin to Scottish folksong and Jerry Lee Lewis, and presents
it back to us combined into what I like to call "Baroque'n'roll" or "Electromantic" or…
something. "

Included is music from films The Piano, The Draughtsman's Contract, A Zed and Two Noughts
and Anne no nikki (Diary of Anne Frank).  There are also two tracks from cult Sega Saturn computer game Enemy Zero.

This album won two ARIA Awards in 2013, Best Classical Album and Best Engineer for Virginia Read.


Review....
Michael NYMAN (b.1944) 
All Imperfect Things - Solo Piano Music 
Sally Whitwell (piano) 
rec. 28-31 May 2013, Eugene Goossens Hall, ABC Ultimo Centre, Sydney. 
Full track-listing at end of review 
ABC CLASSICS 481 0412 [51:22] 
Sally Whitwell’s self-declared mission is to ‘keep classical music
friendly’. That’s to be welcomed as an antidote to the rigidity of concert conventions; the sort of thing
that keeps generations of young listeners barge-pole distant. 
  
I have not heard Whitwell’s previous
discs but their titles suggest a consistent and fresh approach. Both are on ABC Classics: The Good, The Bad and The
Awkward: Solo Piano Music from the Movies(476 4898) and Mad Rush: Solo Piano Music of Philip Glass (476 4469). She is by
no means a studio-bound musician. Her admirable mettle and endeavour are clear enough from having performed with the
composer and Maki Namekawa The Complete Piano Etudes of Philip Glass for the 2013 Perth International Arts Festival. 
  
Here she plays a fetching Michael Nyman selection and does so unfazed by the tendency of each piece just to
end - it’s in the nature of much film music. Whitwell thunders in Silver-Fingered Fling but can also
‘sing’ with seraphic Mozartean introspection. Sweetness and shadows are at subtle play in Lost and Found.
Dances that speak of heroism and stomping life are communicated with great and resonant power as in Here to There.
Towers where bells slowly swing and quickly chime dominate All Imperfect Things. Contrast this with the at first
murmuring and rumbling The Attraction of the Pedalling Ankle; it pre-dates Einaudi whose style in Le Onde (1996) it
prefigures in that introductory section. All these tracks are from the film, The Piano (1993). 
  
The
Draughtsman’s Contract (1982) track reminds us that Nyman also draws on Handelian grandeur, as he did to even
greater effect in Prospero’s Books. I had not previously heard the four tracks from Diary of Anne Frank. They are
from the music for a Japanese anime film. If is another pensive and touching hymn-like statement as is Goodbye Moortie
which has the sunlit heights of Why? as its triumphant goal. The Schoolroom skirls and thrums - Caledonian influences
close at hand. Enemy Zero is from Nyman’s music for a computer game which has plot parallels with the Ridley
Scott Alien films. It is suitably remorseless in Digital Tragedy and sentimentally strummed in Love. The disc plays out
with the shoulder-driven pummelling kinetics of Time Lapse from A Zed and Two Noughts.  
High quality sound
complements the fulfilment of Whitwell’s mission but a couple of things militate against her. The first is the
abstemious playing time. The second relates to the booklet which has this finely talented pianist speaking to us
directly about herself and the music. There’s nothing wrong with that: it’s just that the font is printed
white on Prince Albert mahogany. It makes for eye-strained reading.
  
Visually the album cover stands out
with Whitwell gazing head-on in full anthracite and jet Goth-style - just a touch of Edward Scissorhands too. 
 

Followers of Whitwell, Nyman or melodious minimalism will not regret this disc. Watch out for Whitwell’s
next issue.
