CloseLudovico Einaudi presents his new project Nightbook which is a musical meditation on the transition between light and darkness, the known and the unknown.
Expressive and with a more open compositional structure, sonic colours are created through the close blending of the piano with the strings and percussion, and from the use of electronics which amplifies the sound of the piano, projecting it like a shadow in all directions.
The project grew out of the ideas and ‘musical sketches’ that Einaudi jotted down in a notebook whilst on tour around the world. Einaudi describes the project as “A night-time landscape. A garden faintly visible under the dull glow of the night sky. A few stars dotting the darkness above, shadows of the trees all around. Light shining from a window behind me. What I can see is familiar, but it seems alien at the same time. It’s like a dream—anything may happen.”

I went to see Einaudi at the Barbican in London and at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester! Both nights were fantastic! Standing ovations and encores! I am looking forward to seeing Einaudi perform again in March at the arts centre!

After our first experience of seing Einaudi in Warwick 2 years ago, we managed to watch him in Brimingham in October and thought it was so good, we are going to see it again in Warwick! Music at its best!

Saw Einaudi last night at Warwick Arts - amazing. Truly inspiring and thoughtful music. Truly unbelievable man. He created a magical atmosphere where anyone could loose themselves. I wish I had his talent.
