Product Information

All deliveries within the UK are sent by Royal Mail First Class Post or 24-Hour Parcelforce dependent on weight. The elegant simplicity of his solo-piano compositions ends up the favorite, perhaps the favorite for the layman, but the favorite none the less. From the lush piano composition of 'I Gorni' through to the tense stings of title track 'Islands' through the uplifting dancing notes of 'Divenere' there is no better place to start.

So, between us uncultured folk who can’t run with the orchestral crowd, is Islands a recommendation? Einaudi has garnered critical acclaim throughout the world for his emotionally arresting and powerful compositions that have been used in films like 'Doctor Zhivago' and Television shows like Ricky Gervais' 'Derek'.More than anything, what is required to play this music is good technical skill and strong fingers, as there is generally a lot of repetition of chords in the left hand. Trained at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, Einaudi began his career as a classical composer, later incorporating other styles and genres such as pop, rock, folk, and world music. Also included here are two brand new tracks, The Earth Prelude and High Heels, as well as two remixed versions of Lady Labyrinth and Eros.

This is great to add to student's repertoire to help them learn how to be creative with repetition so it doesn't become boring, but top really draw out the emotions of their listeners. I have no issue with the music, but when are the publishers going to get real about the playability of such productions? This folio matches the album that, for the first time, compiled all of Einaudi's best known music in a single collection. If the type face size of the music had been reduced by only 1-2% this would have made the all the difference. Islands arrived out of pure curiosity; Einaudi has charmed me in film scores before, but in no concrete releases.Please give us the reason for your assessment in the following text box and – if possible – your e-mail address for further questions. Einaudi has composed the scores for a number of films and television productions, including This Is England, The Intouchables, I'm Still Here, the TV miniseries Doctor Zhivago, and Acquario (1996), for which he won the Grolla d'oro.

Ludovico Einaudi is one of the world’s most popular composers, and the source of hundreds of instantly familiar themes used in films, and TV advertising, including films such as Black Swan and This is England '86. He ends up less of an artist, and more of a mechanic to a cause – making scaling, impenetrable songs that beat the listener with its purpose – like I said completely necessary within a score but not for much of an invigorating listen. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. You don't necessarily need to be a high grade yourself to play this music, some people are able to pick up this style of playing quite quickly. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases.Albums like Una Mattina, Divenire and In A Time Lapse have become hugely popular, and this collection features the cream of these stunningly atmospheric works arranged for solo Piano. In terms of key signature, there are a few pieces in C Major, but he loves A Major so be sure to know your keys. Fantastic book full of wonderful pieces - my 7 year old son spent his pocket money on this book and is working his way though the book.
