Quoting Nyman: This Concerto was composed during the winter of 1994/95 for Elisabeth Chojnacka who gave the first performance with the Michael Nyman String Orchestra on 29th April 1995 in the Queen Elizabeth Hall London. Itshistory is eccentric and cumulative. I had met Elisabeth in Paris about a year earlier while I was working on the soundtrack for Diane Kurys' film A la Folie (Six Days Six Nights). I was attempting to persuade her to play mysolo piece The Convertibility of Lute Strings (1992) but she expressed a passion only for tangos. As luck would have it one of the cues of the Kurys score was what I fondly called a tango. Elisabeth showed interest in this andI subsequently turned it in to a harpsichord solo. Sadly during the writing of the piece my friend the composer Tim Souster died tragically. Elisabeth's enthusiasm for Tango for Tim encouraged me to write the Concerto forher.The Concerto is shaped as a very simple ABA form - the outer sections derived from The Convertibility for Lute Strings enfold an elaborated version of Tango for Tim. After the first performance Elisabeth decreed thatthe true potential of the Concerto could only be fulfilled by the addition of a cadenza. This was duly composed in the summer of 1995 - a toccata derived from harmonies first heard in the immediate post-Tango for Tim Convertibility material. (Elisabeth subsequently ordained that the cadenza could also have a life outside the Concerto as a concert piece if it had a few extensions added. Hence - inevitably the title of the piece - ElisabethGets Her Way.Duration c. 22mins.

Five Tangos. Par KIRCHNER VOLKER DAVID. With their wide range of differing moods these pieces concentrate less on the typical rhythm of the Tango but convey something of the demonic forces inherent in this dance. Unusual playing techniques like plucked strings, clusters from wrist to elbow and the use of the voice further emphasise the composer's 'sinister' intentions./ Répertoire / Piano
