Italian music composer Einaudi to perform in Baku
Baku, The Gulf Observer: Italian contemporary classical music composer, one of the best-selling classical artists of all time Ludovico Einaudi will perform at the Heydar Aliyev Palace in Baku, on October 2, 2023.
Einaudi decided to take up music as his career, studying first at Milan’s prestigious Conservatorio Verdi and then with the renowned Italian composer, Luciano Berio.
Einaudi’s musical influences are wide-ranging, from J.S Bach through Mozart and Chopin to Manuel de Falla in the classical sphere and from The Beatles through Bob Dylan to U2 and Radiohead in the world of pop and rock.
He has composed for cinema, theatre and dance, with his work being performed around the world at major venues including Teatro alla Scala, The Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, The Tanglewood Festival and the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London.
Einaudi’s musical style is often described as minimalist, although he has rejected this label, instead preferring to describe his music as “soundtracks for the mind.” Einaudi’s pieces are often based on repetition and feature simple melodic lines that build up to create a more complex harmony. Einaudi has said that he is inspired by nature, literature, and cinema, and his music often reflects these influences.
Einaudi has enjoyed great success both in Italy and internationally. His album Nightbook topped the classical charts in the UK and the US, and his album Divenire was nominated for a Grammy Award. Einaudi has also composed music for film and television, including the soundtracks for the films The Intouchables and This Must Be the Place.
