5.0 out of 5 stars The Masters music 31 July 2011
Format:MP3 Download|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars From one island to another. 17 Oct 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I heard a track from this album on Classic fm and thought 'I must have it'! Went straight onto Amazon and ordered it, when it came I played it immediately and it's all as good as the one track I'd heard. It's very relaxing but much more than just background music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Islands album 30 Jun 2011
Format:Audio CD
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good album, but not my most favourite one
Good album, but not my most favourite one. It has some song that from Divenire, and I already have the Divenire at the same time, so 4 star...
