Knopfler had already scored music for two films, 1983's Local Hero and 1984's Cal, and he threw himself into soundtrack and production work, most notably Tina Turner's Break Every Rule and The Princess Bride soundtrack. Around this time he formed country project the Notting Hillbillies with friend and collaborator Steve Phillips. In 1990 he collaborated with Chet Atkins on Neck and Neck, and a year later Dire Straits released their final studio album. Knopfler's solo career began in earnest with 1996's Golden Heart and has been sporadic since. He has collaborated with some of the biggest names in music: Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison and perhaps most successfully with Emmylou Harris.

Recent years have brought Braveheart as well as his most well-known score to date, Titanic. Critics often bash him for his notorious tendency to borrow from past works, something he does more than even, perhaps, John Williams.

His non-film music falls on the lighter side of the Avant-Garde, abandoning the bold, abstract statements of Stockhausen in favor the more accessible ethnic sound of "The Michael Nyman Band." But just as important as his musical work is his scholarly work. His 1974 book Experimental Music: Cage and Beyond has become an essential text for both casual connoisseurs of the genre to well-versed academics. And, lest we forget, Nyman coined the universally accepted musical term which many use to classify some of his own work: minimalism. - Doug Russell]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9468158&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Ffilm-scores%2Fartist-chart.rss Film Scores Sat, 17 Oct 2009 12:39:48 -0700 Top Film Scores Artists on Rhapsody Online art.9468158 art.9468158 Dario Marianelli art.9468158 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9468158&variant=play&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Ffilm-scores%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9468158&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Ffilm-scores%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.115&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Ffilm-scores%2Fartist-chart.rss Film Scores Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:28:27 -0800 Top Film Scores Artists on Rhapsody Online art.115 art.115 John Carpenter art.115 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.115&variant=play&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Ffilm-scores%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.115&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Ffilm-scores%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1899&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Ffilm-scores%2Fartist-chart.rss Orchestral Scores Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:27:52 -0800 Top Film Scores Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1899 art.1899 Michael Kamen art.1899 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1899&variant=play&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Ffilm-scores%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1899&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Ffilm-scores%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5163943&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Ffilm-scores%2Fartist-chart.rss Adult Alternative Sun, 1 Nov 2009 12:39:35 -0800 Top Film Scores Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5163943 art.5163943 Michael Andrews art.5163943 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5163943&variant=play&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Ffilm-scores%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5163943&variant=data&rws=%2Fsoundtracks-musicals%2Ffilm-scores%2Fartist-chart.rss Donnie Darko.
