Einaudi began his career performing classical music in the 1980s after training at the Conservatorio Verdi, when he began composing orchestral and classical pieces, before progressing to more main stream music heard in popular culture in the mid 80s. As well as piano, Einaudi also plays and composes for guitar, in which he in incredibly skilled and proficient. Although Einaudi is influenced by classical artists, his style is unique with the fusion of classical and popular music bridging the gap between the two genres, making his music extremely accessible to many types of listeners.
From his eclectic back catalogue, of tracks, he has won several awards, including Best Film Music at the Avingon Film Festical for his score Sotto Falso Nome, and Best Soundtrack at the Italian Music Awards for Luce Die Miei Occhi. His music has also appeared in popular culture worldwide, composing the trailer music for the movie Black Swan.
His album Le Onde written for piano and performed as a solo was the best selling album in the UK and Italy, sending Einaudi to success. Still producing charting music, his latest album In A Time Lapse has taken him on a giant US and Canadian tour, as well as landing him a slot at the prestigious iTunes festival.
I was lucky enough to see the infinitely talented Ludovico Einaudi live at the Royal Albert Concert Hall.
The lights dimmed as he walked out on stage and the audience clapped politely. The famous and talented pianist began playing and a hushed silence fell over the crowd. The notes played out an emotional story that no one could ignore. It was like being rocked to sleep as a child, something was comforting and you knew you would always be safe in that moment. Not a single missed note, not a single look at the audience to confirm their reaction. Someone as talented as Ludovico Einaudi does not need reassurance, he is amazing.
As we sat there, looking ahead, not a dry eye in the house, my wife took my hand and held it. I could feel every second of our lives together rush through me in that moment as the somber tones of the piano flowed over us. I knew that that was the moment I would always remember no matter what happened to us. It is the moment I always go back to when I need to remember her face.
Ludovico Einaudi gave me a moment to keep forever.
