Comment: This is beautiful music. Very soothing and melodic. I had heard a selection of this CD on a classical music station (KDFC in the Bay Area) and was not disappointed in the other pieces. I can recommend this to music lovers of all kinds.

Summary: Echoes: The Einaudi Collection
Comment: Echoes, The Einaudi Collection is a CD filled with beautiful classical piano music. It is so relaxing, and fills my home with beautiful music. I heard this music on my local classical music station, and had to buy it for my own collection. If you love classical, relaxing, and beautifully played piano music, this CD is for you!!

Summary: Absolutely beautiful...
Comment: Ludovici Einaudi is one of the most gifted composers active today. This collection contains many pieces of quiet beauty. I am tempted to describe his music as a cross between George Winston and Philip Glass, although that is perhaps not fair to all three composers, as they each have unique musical talent. However, I think the comparison works: Einaudi's music does possess the elements of repetition that is Glass's hallmark, but it also has stronger melodies than does Glass's music, hence my comparison to Winston.
Most of the pieces on this collection are solo piano, although there are a couple with other accompanying instruments. My favorites are "Le Onde," "I giorni," and "Melodia Africana III." But there is not a disappointing track on the entire CD.
New age music often gets a bum rap of being "elevator music" or syrupy pap. Einaudi is proof that new age music can be intellectually complex and emotionally satisfying. I predict his work will stand the test of time, and I recommend this album to anybody who enjoys solo piano.

Summary: This is such a pleasing CD
Comment: I recently purchased this CD and haven't been able to stop listening since. The music is so beautiful that often tears come to my eyes. Imagine my thrill when I realized that Einoudi is the pianist for many pieces that I often adored from previous musical compilations, all the while unaware who the composer was. This CD has all my favorites and more!
