La Sept is a 1989
promotional album of music for the French TV network
La Sept written by
Michael Nyman and performed by the
Michael Nyman Band.[1] It is Nyman's fourteenth release.
Gabrielle Lester makes her debut with the band on this album. After a 13-year hiatus (at least from recording) with the band, she would replace the departing
Alexander Balanescu as
concertmaster for The Michael Nyman Band during the recording of Facing Goya, and, as of 2008, remains in that position. Musical passages created for La Sept were later re-used for the piece The Final Score which is featured in the album
After Extra Time.
