Nigel's most recent film score is for Ladies in Lavender, starring Dame Judi Dench and Dame Maggie Smith. The soundtrack, which was nominated for a Classical Brit Award, is performed by virtuoso American violinist Joshua Bell and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and is available on Sony Classics.

Following successful concerts with the RPO at St.John's Smith Square and the Royal Festival Hall, Nigel recently conducted highlights from his Royal Shakespeare Company scores, together with music from other Shakespearean productions, for a Gala evening called The Food Of Love. Hosted by Dame Judi Dench and Patrick Stewart, the sell-out concert took place at Cadogan Hall, London.

Recent commissions include the première of a new work commissioned by London's National Gallery performed by pianist Piers Lane as part of the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts in November; a new suite for wind band, Shakespeare Pictures, commissioned by Birmingham Symphonic Winds; and the music for the opening production of Shakespeare’s Globe 2009 season, Romeo and Juliet, directed by Dominic Dromgoole. For the Globe's 2010 season Nigel will be scoring a new production of Henry VIII, and his score for The Merry Wives of Windsor will be heard again later in the same season in a revival of Christopher Luscombe's hit production from 2008. Nigel is also currently scoring a new feature film version of The Winter’s Tale.

Nigel’s music is a regular on Classic FM, the UK’s most popular commercial radio station, and the largest classical music station in the world. In the station’s 2009 Hall of Fame (their top 300 tracks voted for by the listeners), the Piano Concerto (No 283) and Ladies in Lavender (No 58) both featured, with the latter the second most popular film soundtrack after The Lord of the Rings and the fourth most popular work by any living composer.
