"Concertos" is the 31st album by Michael Nyman, released in 1997 featuring three concerti comissioned from Nyman, the Mazda-sponsored "Double Concerto for Saxophone and Cello", featuring John Harle and Julian Lloyd Webber, the "Harpsichord Concerto" for Elisabeth Chojnacka, and the "Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra" for Christian Lindberg. The album was intended as the first in a series of Nyman recordings, as it reads "NYMAN EDITION No1: Concertos" on the EMI label, but Nyman's only other release on EMI (until "The Actors" in 2003), "The Suit and the Photograph" does not have such designation. The album debuted when completely clear jewel cases were just coming in, and the inside back cover is colored solid red, with the series designation in the left area that was previously hidden by the tray. "The Suit and the Photograph", however, was packaged in a standard grey-black tray. Said Nyman of EMI, "I didn't excite them, and they didn't excite me." [Michael Church. "Michael Nyman: Piano, solo" "The Independent". Thursday, 28 September 2006. [http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/michael-nyman-piano-solo-417877.html] ]
