Guide Review - Ludovico Einaudi - Divenire
"The music of composer/pianist Ludovico Einaudi has been described as minimalist, classical, ambient, contemporary and deeply touching... the welcome sound of stillness in a hectic world." After listening to this album, it's easy to understand why Einaudi has collected such descriptions. Divenire was my first introduction to Einaudi. And after having listened to the album several times, it's safe to say I'm going to be searching for more of his records. Einaudi's Divenire is simply beautiful, and I'm hoping his other albums are too.
Born Novermber 23, 1955, in Turin, Einaudi began learning piano at a young age. Einaudi attended the Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi in Milan and the Tanglewood Festival to learn and improve upon his musical abilities. Einaudi's extreme popularity, especially overseas, is evident by the amount of CDs he is able to sell and the number of concerts performed in front of sold out crowds. As I mentioned earlier, Divenire was nominated for a Classical Brit Award in 2008.
