Crime against Music !!! - By: ANON, 24 Aug 2008 
The most boring CD ever printed !b .... A crime against music !
I would not even class this as "music"
A bit too samey for my liking - By: S. Pope, 28 Jan 2008 
I love piano music & after hearing one of the tracks on Classic FM was determined to buy a copy of this CD. I was looking forward to listening to it but after the first three tracks I started to feel disappointed. Einaudi is best listened toin isolation - ie on Classic FM. An entire CD of his is pretty boring & rather depressing to be honest. There is little differentiation from one song to the next: most are solemn, ponderous, many are writtenin 3/4 time giving the impression of a long waltz. I think hearing a track on the radio amongst other music does Einaudi's music more justice but he needs to vary the tone, the rhythm, & the mood of his pieces more,in my opinion, to be considered a composer of any real worth or value. Someone else said that this is at best music to havein the background & I couldn't agree more. Music normally moves me but this actually, & unfortunately, bored me after 6 songs of the same. I'd recommend looking out for a compilationin which Einaudi appears instead.
Calming, Reflective... Subtly Unique - By: Adaora, 27 Jan 2008 
Einaudi's music is truly unique... subtle & calming. I imagine it'd take that certain 'ear/heart' to appreciate his blend of music. First time I heard Ludovico's music wasin a taxiin rural Sussex (odd, I know), & don't recall anything else about my journey. I've since got myself 3 CDs from his collection, & whilst it's difficult to choose a favourite, I Giorni's still an all time heart-stopper for me. His music's worth a try... especially whilst working, driving, or ambient music at dinner or heart-to-heart chats.
BORING, BORING, BORING - By: B. Raval, 28 Aug 2007 What do people seein this man's music? It could have been written better by a bored music student teenager. It has no direction, there's no musical developmentin it, it doesn't have the quirky but intelligent simplicity of Satie, & it's over-rated & over-exposed. Sorry, but Einaudi is rubbish.
pleasantly bored - By: S. Jameson, 15 Aug 2007 it's pleasant easy listening but it is repetitive & simple; broken by the occasional incongruous drop outs. Background music for eating/ reading to....
