Ludovico Einaudi

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

Italian pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi is unknown in the US, but he is huge in Europe. He joins us to talk about being an adept at both orchestral writing and modern electronic technology and being a fan of both pop music and the American minimalist music tradition.

    I suppose your interns could not get this info for you before airtime but "Divenire" is NOT the first

    Ludovico Einaudi's ceedee release in the US. His "Diario Mali" was released and distributed by Harmonia Mundi USA two years ago and got some play and enthusiastic response on my show. Anyway, now more people will catch on to his artistry because you have.
