Although Einaudi would prefer not to be labeled as any particular type of composer, he is generally considered a minimalist.
"In general I don't like definitions, but 'minimalist' is a term that means elegance and openness, so I would prefer to be called a minimalist than something else." - Ludovico Einaudi

(2) Pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi was born in Turin, November 23, 1955. His mother, also a pianist, would play for him as a young child, planting the seeds for what would become a fruitful, illustrious career. Einaudi studied under Luciano Berio at the Conservatory of Milan, graduating with a diploma in composition. In 1982 his talents would win him a scholarship to the Tanglewood Music Festival. The experience opened Einaudi's ears to new ideas like minimalism, world music influences, and aspects of pop music. He spent the next several years composing for the ballet, including Sul Filo d'Orfeo (1984), Time-Out (1988), and The Wild Man (1991). Einaudi turned a corner in 1996 with the release of his first collection of solo performances, entitled Le Onde. This record started Einaudi down the path toward becoming one of Europe's best-selling pianist/composers. 1999's Eden Roc and 2001's I Giorni, both for BMG, captured the solo piano world's attention, both remaining best-sellers for years to come. While seemingly at the top of the composition world, Einaudi ventured into the world of film composition, a journey punctuated by his Best Film Score award in 2002 for his work on Luce Dei Miei Occhi. Einaudi noted in interviews during that period that he missed concertizing, and began performing again regularly. New works blossomed from this effort, including 2004's Una Mattina and 2006's Diario Mali. 2007 welcomed Einaudi's seventh studio album, titled Divenire, where he was accompanied by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. The follow-up, 2009's Nightbook, was much more self-consciously reductionist, featuring solo piano minimally adorned with electronics, and saw Einaudi begin to be appreciated by fans of the "post-classical" school that he had arguably, at least in part, inspired. A double-disc best-of, Islands, was released in 2011, and at the beginning of 2013 he signed a new deal with Decca and unveiled the long-gestating In a Time Lapse, which had been recorded in a remote monastery near Verona and saw a return to a more "classical" chamber music sound. 2015 brought the release of Elements, which featured violinist Daniel Hope, the Amsterdam Sinfonietta, electronica's Robert Lippok, and Brazilian percussionist Mauro Refosco, among its several guest performers. Recorded at his home studio in Italy, it was inspired by nature, math, science, music, art, and how parts connect to form a whole. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez

This is what I love about music. 100 different people can listen to this and feel 100 different emotions. Sadness. Hope. Despair. Relaxation. Content. Contemplation. Desire. Grief. Nobody in the world can tell you what you should feel when you listen to this, or any other song, regardless the genre. To me it's the greatest art form on the planet.
Luna Goodhart
Make that 8 years. Great comment. No doubt a great person.

Beautifully said.....and after 7 years it is still the same.

I am feeling quite down right now, as I just lost the person I love. And this song pretty much sums it all up. No words need said really, this is my feeling. And now to put this on repeat.

I believe this piece of music is a medicine. Just came from a hectic day at office and am listening to this...first time...feels so good..divine
Requiesce
By far one of the most emotional pieces I've ever heard.
Fergus Barragry
this piece is so peaceful i absolutely love this track, but more than that it's usage astounds me. Shane Meadows used this track in one of the most savage scenes I've ever watched in modern cinema. You'd think it wouldn't work well but what's amazing it both the scene and music work perfectly together. For those here who adore Ludovico Einaudi i heartily recommend you watch This is England by Shane Meadows it features some of the most intense acting, and beautiful music I've ever heard
Patrick Cummins
I am consumed by the sheer beauty and brilliance of his music! Einaudi will live forever among the ranks of the finest musical minds our world has ever known! I feel something so divine and soulful in every note. A man such as Ludovico is a rare and intensely special person! Thank you for your gifts and for filling my lonely hurting heart with the beauty of your music. You help me survive each and every day. Much love and respect!
Juuuuulo
I don't know if it's sadness, melancholy or pain that I feel when I listen to this piano piece.
Rodolphe Yeboa
You feel what you just need to feel while listening to it
