Nigel has also been busy at Shakespeare's Globe this summer scoring a new production of Henry VIII and overseeing the revival of The Merry Wives of Windsor prior to its American and UK tour. The album of Nigel's music from Merry Wives is available from the Globe shop and as a download from iTunes.
Nigel's film score for Ladies in Lavender continues to be popular worldwide. Starring Dame Judi Dench and Dame Maggie Smith, the soundtrack was nominated for a Classical Brit Award, and was performed by virtuoso American violinist Joshua Bell and the RPO. It continues to be one of Sony Classics' best-sellers.
Recent commissions include a new suite for wind band, Shakespeare Pictures, commissioned by Birmingham Symphonic Winds, and a new work for London's National Gallery performed by pianist Piers Lane as part of the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts. Also for these concerts Nigel devised a presentation entitled Admission: One Shilling which tells the story of the National Gallery's famous lunchtime concerts during the Second World War which Dame Myra started and organized for six years, and this is now being presented around the country by legendary actress Patricia Routledge and Piers Lane to great acclaim.
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. Both his Piano Concerto (commissioned by HRH The Prince of Wales) and Ladies in Lavender feature in their Hall of Fame (their top 300 tracks voted for by listeners). Nigel was nominated as Composer of the Year at the 2009 Classical Brit Awards for the Piano Concerto, the recording of which has recently been re-released as part of Deutsche Grammophon's new compilation Best of Lang Lang. |
