简介:  专辑介绍: 关於Ludovico Einaudi: 义大利钢琴家与创作者,自小学习钢琴,在米兰威尔第音乐学院获得作曲文凭,1982年随作曲家Berio学作曲,以钢琴音乐创作者身分,至今作曲不輟。Einaudi最初的作品仍相当「古典音乐」,受Berio的影响,偏向当代古典的前卫风格,之后他为舞剧与多媒体展示写作配乐,之后才转向以钢琴为主的创作,他的音乐偏向冥想、自省,日后转趋极简,并兼容当代流行风格。 Ludovico Einaudi出身出版集团世家,祖父Luigi Einaudi则曾任义大利总统,但他未接家族事业,在专业上拥有自己一片天。Ludovico Einaudi曲风淡雅,极简乐音偏浪漫而不神经质,他也写下不少电影音乐作品,如《穿过你眼神的爱 Light Of My Eyes》、《偷慾 Under A False Name》、《齐瓦哥医生-影集 Doctor Zhivago》等。 Release Date 2008 Duration 01:39:25 Genre New Age Classical Pop/Rock Styles Chamber Music Review by James Manheim [-] Ludovico Einaudi is a minimalist Italian composer, often associated with film, who has enlivened his style with electronic effects drawn from the worlds of techno and ambient music. He sometimes goes by his last name alone. The combination has proven commercially potent in Europe, and given the attraction of Steve Reich and the other minimalists among aficionados of electronic music on the pop side, it's surprising more musicians haven't explored the combination. Live in Berlin mostly draws on Einaudi's album Divenire, which is scored for piano and orchestra. Apparently little known even to Einaudi's fans, it shows that this composer's studio-oriented sound can be effectively transferred to a live setting. The music, with its waves of arpeggiated piano chords, evoke the new age sound of the 1980s, but strike an intriguing balance between that softer aesthetic and the sparser structures of early minimalism. The electronics push the balance farther in the latter direction, serving as solid joints and substructure to the music. They lose little in live performance, in superior live recording aided by the surroundings of Berlin's venerable Philharmonie, home to the Berlin Philharmonic (it's on Herbert von Karajan Street). Live recordings of minimalist (and new age) music have historically not gotten much attention; these genres seem to favor the closed, meditative loop between studio and listener. This one, however, is unusually well done.
