Einaudi's haunting melodies enriched by strings and Duduk, 9 Jun 2002
Einaudi has excelled himself this time. Not only has he written another crop of the most delightful, hauntingly beautiful melodies, but he has employed the power and variety of strings, (violin, cello), and the amazing oboe-like sound of the Armenian Duduk, (remember the sound-track to Gladiator). It is the combination of these instruments that gives Eden Roc such great interest, depth and variety. Einaudi's simple themes, (sometimes a little shallow when heard on the piano alone), are now brilliantly enriched. The strings add depth and power, and the use of the duduk is a stroke of sheer genius. It is the perfect instrument to accomapany his intensly haunting melodies, because it produces such a haunting sound itself. I thought Le Onde was good, but Eden Roc is superb, incredible, the best yet. Is there more to come from Einaudi? I can't wait?

An album full of gentle, meldious insturmentals., 26 Jan 2003
By A Customer
I bought this album, having been impressed by Einaudi's tracks on a National Trust compilation CD and on Classic FM. I was not disappointed - each track has a beautiful and relaxing quality to it, great for helping to unwind after a hard day, or for simply enjoying on a beautiful day. You will love this if you enjoy gentle, melodious, relaxing instrumental music. In my opinion this album has a style that blends well with the works of the traditional classical composers and also with contempory artists, such as Rolf Lovland's Secret Garden and Karl Jenkins' Adiemus. I enjoy a wide range of music, ranging from rock through to classical, and this album is up among my all time favourites.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A collection of beautiful, emotive and relaxing music., 3 Sep 2003
By A Customer
Having heard a couple of Einaudi's pieces, I decided that this album was sure to continue in a haunting, engaging mode. Many of the pieces indeed reflect a rather simple minimalistic style, combining lyrical melodies with graceful accompaniments. After listening to two or three tracks, Einaudi's style shines through, creating a positive sense of slight predictability, as the pieces seem to progress how you want them to. If anyone admires the music of the Michael Nyman, I suggest this album would be of great interest to you as there are many similarities in style.
