From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Piano
Soundtrack by Michael Nyman
Released 1993
Genre Soundtrack
Length 56:47
Label Virgin Records

The Piano is the original soundtrack, on the Virgin Records label, of the 1993 Academy Award-winning film The Piano starring Holly Hunter (who won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as "Ada McGrath" in this film), Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill and Anna Paquin (who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as "Flora McGrath" in this film). The original score was composed by Michael Nyman. Despite being called a "soundtrack", this is a score re-recording, as Nyman himself also performs the piano on the album (whereas the film version is performed by Hunter).

The album was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score (but lost to the score of Heaven & Earth) and the BAFTA Award for Best Score (lost to the score of Schindler's List).
