Nightbook Soundtrack Product Description

Nightbook Soundtrack by Ludovico Einaudi was released Jan 12, 2010 on the Ponderosa label. Italian pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi describes his album Nightbook in this way: "A night-time landscape. Nightbook Soundtrack A garden faintly visible under the dull glow of the night sky. Nightbook Soundtrack 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." Although such language may sound like it has little if anything to do with music, it communicates the mood of this album as well as can be done with words. Consisting of chamber works for various combinations of classical and modern instruments (violin, viola, cello, live electronics, vibraphone, frame drums, electric bass, acoustic guitar, etc. ), Nightbook succeeds most fully when it embraces that mood of shadowy mystery: pieces like "The Snow Prelude N.2" and the almost pointillistic "The Planets" use spacious arrangements and relatively minimal melodic foundations to create deceptively simple-sounding soundscapes of ravishing beauty. When Einaudi tries to rock out, the results are a bit shakier: "Lady Labyrinth" suffers from blocky rhythms and a simplistic, rather than simple, chord progression -- it ends up sounding like your uncle the piano professor trying to identify with the younger generation's music. ...See Full Description
