Culture Break: Michael Nyman: The Fringed Curtains of Thine Eye

From Noises, Sounds and Sweet Airs, which is a work he created based on The Tempest. The interesting part is that he didn't used any of the songs, having already set the songs for Prospero's Books. This is probably my favorite piece from the work.

Performed by Catherine Bott, Hilary Summers, Ian Bostridge, Ensemble Instrumental de BasseNormandie & Dominique Debart. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a performance video on YouTube or anywhere else.
