Given the plain lucidity of these pieces, it is appropriate for them to be played with effortless restraint.

The composer has also largely avoided the sizeable hand stretches that populate several of his earlier pieces. a b "History and Mystery The piano spheres of Ludovico Einaudi: Interview". Bluefat.

That’s insightful. I was actually inspired by Debussy for “Swordfish.” The playing technique is similar. But I’m not sure about its diversity from the rest of the album. To me, it doesn’t sound like an isolated composition; on the contrary, it adds a shade of color.

Indian Yellow’ is a variation on the harmonies of ‘Natural Light.’ But, of course, it has a different character. It tells the same story but in a different way.” Underwater is Einaudi’s first full album of new solo piano music for two decades. The music was composed while the composer was isolated at his home in Italy. Working without any distractions or the usual commitments that come with his busy schedule, we are told that it is his manifesto for life, and a statement on a period during which the world around him was quiet and silent. They just started as a little poetic addition. But they’re open to interpretation; everyone can find their own meaning.

The past few weeks have told us more than we want to know about the relentlessly acclamatory optimism of powerful people for whom detail is a mere inconvenience. Like our new PM, the Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi is a populist who has no problem persuading audiences to come out and listen. Tonight’s concert is the first of seven sell-out evenings at the Barbican devoted to his work. And yet his message proves stubbornly empty, unmemorable and humourless – music patched together from cute melodic soundbites and occasional outbursts of bombast. British Airways Advert: Today, Tomorrow on YouTube, "Experience (Starkey Remix)" for commercial (2013) World-famous and highly popular pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi has been consistently at the top of classical music charts worldwide.

I like it because although it could be seen as an abstract piece, at the same time there’s a sort of fire inside that keeps your attention, that keeps the piece awake. And so, it never actually becomes an abstract, cold piece.” the AU interview: Ludovico Einaudi (Italy)", the AU review, posted on 7 February 2014 by Larry Heath. a b c d e f "Ludovico Einaudi".
