And Do They Do
[...] composed during the summer of 1986, first performed at Sadler's Wells Theatre on 25 November, 1986,
[...] consists of four linked 'songs' of which the third is based on Schumann's "Nachtlied" Opus 19, No. 1 - a spin-off from my opera The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat, written at the same time and in which Schumann's music plays a major structural role.
Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London

Zoo Caprices
A transcription of a work for small orchestra (the score for Peter Greenaway's film "A Zed & Two Noughts") for a solo violin may seem a foolhardy proposition were it not for the stunning virtuosity of Alexander Balanescu who has inspired a number of my compositions in the past six years and who was creatively involved in suggesting, demonstrating and modifying many of the violinistic solutions to the transfer of a multilayered, multi-textured work to a (so-called) single line instrument.
Recorded at The Michael Nyman Studio
