"Piano Trios 1992-2010 offers a compelling portrait of Michael Nyman's skillfully written chamber music. The Irish Fidelio Trio is featured in this set of the complete Piano Trios. Each of Nyman's trios has a programmatic element. Two are heard here in world première recordings. 'Poczatek' is derived from Nyman's score to the film of the same name. 'The Photography of Chance' refers to the industrial reality in early Soviet photography." Performed by Fidelio Trio.

"String Quartets Nos. 1-3 offers another compelling portrait of Michael Nyman's skillfully written chamber music. Nyman's three string quartets were not conceived as a series, as they owe their origins to three very different sets of circumstances. However, when the composer heard them together on the 1991 Argo recording featuring the Balanescu Quartet (reissued here), he realized that the works had an unintentional but unmistakable consistency of compositional approach."

"Sangam, a ground-breaking collaborative work by Michael Nyman, reflects both the commonalities and differences between Eastern and Western musical traditions. Sangam - a Hindi word meaning 'a coming together' or 'meeting point' - is the culmination of a two year musical odyssey by Michael Nyman which began with a month-long visit to India at the end of 2000. Nyman and his collaborators, mandolinist U. Shrinivas and the vocal team of brothers Rajan Misra and Sajan Misra, create stunningly lovely music. This welcome reissue from MN Records was originally released in 2002."
