Format:Audio CD
Every now and then an album comes along that changes they way you think about music. This is one of those albums. The only word that springs to mind is perfection. From the first scintillating key to the last - it's everything a contemporary classical work should be: elevated, yet with no hint of pretension. Elegant but accessible. Rich and melodious. Think Nyman's The Piano. Haunting - think American Beauty or Six feet Under and you'll get the picture - at least part of it. You'll just have to get the disc to savour the whole of Einaudi's perfect vista. Oh, there's that word again!

Imagine, if you will, the following scene: It is raining; you are soaked to the skin, and, after a hard day at work, rather stressed too. All you want to do is kick something. You need something to calm you down, to bring you back to normality.
This is it.
'Le Onde' consists of the most amazingly beautiful solo piano music you are ever likely to hear. Really. Buy it now.

Format:Audio CD
This album deserves to be heard by everybody. It is possibly one of the best pieces of music ever recorded - a truly modern classic. The music completely draws you in and there is little else you can do whilst it is playing - it is utterly spellbinding. The finely crafted pieces are evocative, inspirational and subtlely charged with emotional intensity. This music is accessible to listeners with all sorts of tastes - personally, I am a fan of people like U2, Radiohead, Coldplay and Moby. Anybody who enjoys music which is passionate, majestic, elegant and spiritual will be immediately enchanted by this album. Imagine Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata crossed with Watermark by Enya and you'll have some idea of what to expect - piano playing that paints a beautiful picture. However, words alone cannot describe what a magical and graceful album this truly is. Buy it, put it on the CD player, close your eyes and discover perfection.

Relaxing
Heard some of Einaudi's work on classic FM and thought I had to sample one of his albums - not dissapointed as his clarity and precision in playing is excellent. Read more

I must stop buying albums speculatively, it's not a good idea as proved to me yet again by this album.

Boring boring boring
This CD is the most boring amateur music I have heard in a long while. The cheesy and predictable melodies sound like a GCSE composition recorded by a school pupil. Read more
