Nyman
 

4BR is starting its 2012 January Sale with plenty of great CD’s at knock down prices.

Money saving

First up is the fantastic release, ‘Nyman Brass’, which features some brilliant arrangements of the iconic music of the great minimalist composer – and all for the money saving price of £4.95 plus postage and package.

It’s well worth adding to you collection as the rumour is that Mr Nyman may well be writing a major work for a very major contest in the next year or so.

Significant release

As Michael Nyman himself said of it: "Nyman Brass is a significant release for MN Records in that for the first time a whole album of my music has been given over to musicians other than those who work regularly with me.

But more significant is the nature of the music and, especially, the nature of the performers."
