Análisis - Product Description
2003 release from the world renowned symphonic composer. Solo piano work written in 1996 by the acclaimed Milanese composer. Einaudi writes 'The idea of Le Onde was to write something inspired by Virginia Woolf's novel The Waves. I was really intrigued by the form of the novel, which is very complex & interesting because some parts are written in italics & others in normal text. The parts in italics are like a cadence running through the book. The book is a description of what people see during one day, starting from the light of the morning & by the end of the book night has fallen. Every time the italic chapters come back, you see a different change of light on what's happening on the shore.' He started writing all the pieces for Le Onde inspired by this idea, but reached a point when he felt there was still a piece lacking from the overall picture. 'I said 'yes, it's missing Le Onde', which had in its opening the cadence of a wave. The idea was that the music flowed & was developing by itself, from the opening arpeggio, like when you see a wave developing in its space, it's developing because it has to. It's perpetual motion'. 13 tracks. Ricordi.

- Good album from one of the best contemporary solo piano composers

Ludovico Einaudi is, in my opinion, the best composer working today in the nebulous field of "neo-classical" or "new age" or "contemporary piano," whatever you want to call it. His music has a minimalist flair, reminiscent of Philip Glass (but more melodic than Glass) or Yann Tiersen. Out of deference to the cranky reviewer below, I won't compare Einaudi to John Reich, except to say that Einaudi's pieces have much greater melodic appeal to me than Reich's. ;-)

Le Onde is a very good album, but not Einaudi's best. The strongest tracks are "Le Onde," "Questa Notte" and "Ombre." If you are new to Einaudi, I'd recommend that you start with the "Echoes" greatest hits collection instead, or "Divenire," his most recent release. If you are an established Einaudi fan, then you will probably want "Le Onde" simply to have a complete collection.

One last comment: Einaudi has released most of the sheet music for his work, and it ranges in difficulty from fairly easy to quite advanced. I recommend highly "The best of Ludovico Einaudi: Piano solo" sheet music collection.

- Classical Waves!

Ludovico Einaudi might be better known for his music when it's played at the BAFTA Television and Film Awards remembering those who passed away in the previous year. His music is light enough to allow dialogue but it's unforgettable and soothing those of us who mourns the losses. So this is my second compact disc by him and I'm not disappointed. I'm shocked that he's not more well known. This music would be ideal for Pilates and Yoga classes and I would highly recommend his music to be used in such places to allow comfort, peace, and a moment to reflect and de-stress from a stressful life. Anyway, his music is not for everybody. It's light but meaningful. It's ironic that I am writing about BAFTA here because it is what attraced me to Ludovico Einaudi's music in the first place. It has such a whimsical nature. His second track is worthy enough to relax you on the most stressed out days. His music has a calming and wonderful effect already. If you are looking for music to relax, regroup, and calm yourself, Ludovico Einaudi's piano tunes and performance is worth it.
