I love it.What more can I say.The music is simply beautiful.This is largely a compilation album I believe being a newbie fan of Einaudi after hearing Nightbook and discovering it's composer.If you love exciting,flowing,elegant piano full of passion this is sure to stir your soul and lift your spirits and take you on a wonderful journey.

You'd be hard pressed not to like any of the music Ludovico Einaudi composes and plays even if you're not a classical music lover. His simple arrangements and keyboard skills are second to none that enable him to produce fabulous pieces time and time again that appeal to anyone. I like many types of music from the whole spectrum and don't usually lean towards anything classical per se, but, when it comes to Einaudi's music I can't get enough. Sit there and listen in a room or put your headphones on and get personal, you can't get enough. Lift your spirit for the day and listen to he Islands album or for that matter any of his other albums.

Format:Audio CD
The disc is an eclectic anthology of the music of the Italian composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi along with a new piece written for the occasion. I am particularly fond of his solo piano compositions which the artist performs and which have on me a mesmerizing, spellbinding effect. The disc did not disappoint me. Out of the 14 tracks, 9 comprise beloved solo piano works. These are:'I Giorni'(The Days),'Le Onde'(The Waves), 'Dietro Casa'(Nearly Home), 'Nuvole Bianche'(White Clouds), 'Passagio'(Passage), 'Nefeli', 'Questa Notte'(Tonight), 'Berlin Song', and 'Melodia Africana'. Beautiful were also his new piece 'The Earth Prelude' with violin, viola, cello and Piano and so were 'Diverine'(To Become) and 'Primavera'(Spring) both Piano works and both with the accompaniment of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. The single exception was 'Nightbook' where he magic was lost in the variety of instruments comprising Piano, Acoustics Quitars, Cello, Snare Drum, Percussions, and Marimba. On the other hand 'Fairy Tale' though not a solo piano work, was heavenly.

Music it may be, but not good music!
Einaudi is certainly the master of nauseatingly repetitive, dreadfully dull, plinkety-plonkety music composed especially for the hard of thinking (Who else would buy this musical... Read more

So relaxing
This album is so relaxing yet so emotive. The minute the first track i Giorni starts to play the mood of the room you are playing it in is suddenly lighter. Read more
