Soundtrack / The Piano (Film)
Beautiful music! I'm in awe of the melody.
The original soundtrack is on the Virgin Records label, of the 1993 Academy Award-winning film The Piano. The original score was composed by Michael Nyman. The main theme is based on a traditional Scottish melody titled "Gloomy Winter's Noo Awa." Despite being called a "soundtrack", this is a partial score re-recording, as Nyman himself also performs the piano on the album, whereas the film version is performed by lead actress Holly Hunter. The music is performed by the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Nyman with Michael Nyman Band members.

unusual conditions attached. A tour de force in filmmaking, The Piano
received three Academy Awards including Best Actress (Holly Hunter), Best
Supporting Actress (Anna Paquin) and Best Original Screenplay (Director Jane Campion). It stars Holly Hunter, Harvey Kietel, Sam Neill, and then 11-year old Anna Paquin in her first starring role.
