Michael Nyman's 'Memorial'

Dedicated to the memory of the Juventus F.C. fans killed in the Heysel Stadium tragedy, in May 1985. It had a strong effect on movie director Peter Greenaway, who decided to model parts of his film The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover on this composition. In fact, this composition is perhaps the best example of the integration of Nyman's music to Greenaway's work. The final sequence of the movie was entirely choreographed around the fifth movement.

One of my all time favourite films.. Top 5, and this music is wonderful.

What a beautiful horrifically disturbing film !!!! One can only watch more than once because of the music and the high art that belongs to this cinematic Masterpiece

[garywebb]

This is a film that has fantastic music and the cast is sublime, it is and always will be a top five film and one that you will watch again and again and remember

[AlexandrosDeligiorgis]

By far Peter Greenaway's best film. Not because the rest are not good but because this one is trully excellent.

Слушаю с того момента, когда впервые увидел фильм первый раз в 92 году. И до сих пор наслаждаюсь и не могу насладиться - бесконечность имя этому произведению.

You can hear henry purcell's king arthur aria here and also vivaldi winter. heavily influenced. Lovely piece of music.

This movie is a masterpiece. Not something you can watch over and over, but it has certainly not garnered the attention it deserves. Excellent cast all around. The film is artistic and innovative. And the soundtrack is simply exquisite. Random fact: The actor who played Albert is also Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies 😜

[deanandreoli]

definitely in my top 5. i would say it is in my top two, even. so damn good from every aspect.

King Arthur, or The British Worthy (Z. 628), is a semi-opera in five acts with music by Henry Purcell and a libretto by John Dryden. It was first performed at the Queen's Theatre, Dorset Garden, London, in late May or early June 1691
