The latest release on mn records is Mozart 252, released March 3rd 2008.
Mozart 252 brings together Michael Nyman’s Mozart-based scores for the first time, all newly recorded for this 11 track album. Mozart has been essential to Nyman, and helped set the Michael Nyman Band on its unique course when it formed as the Campiello Band over 30 years ago in 1977.

The album features two main bodies of Mozart-derived works, the first is the soundtrack for Peter Greenaway’s Drowning by Numbers, and the second draws from Nyman’s score for Letters, Riddles and Writs (1991), a BBC2 homage to Mozart. The music has been praised by the Evening Standard who said: “With guts and wit, In Re Don Giovanni deconstructs a tiny phrase from Mozart and after all these years still sparkles”.
