意大利音乐家Ludovico Einaudi，鲁多维科.艾奥迪，本来从事比较严肃的交响音乐创作，进入80年代中期之后才开始尝试用新的形态来进行进行音乐制作和电影配音创作，却没有想到因此进入newage领域而一发不可收拾。
1955 年出生于意大利都灵的Ludovico Einaudi是著名的交响乐作曲家和钢琴演奏家。97年BMG出版了他的电子竖琴作品《Stanze》，一年后，他的一组钢琴独奏小品《Le Onde》问世。02年3月，《Eden Roc》进入英国古典音乐排行榜前十，而作品《I Giorni》自发行至今一直居于排行榜前二十。
Einaudi早先专门从事古典音乐的创作和电影的配乐，曲风深受巴哈、莫扎特、肖邦和法利亚.M等音乐家的影响。80年代中后期转向更自由的创作风格，意外地和新世纪音乐与极限主义走进同路。
这是Ludovico Einaudi在2001年发行的专辑，并在2004年重新发行。这可以算是他比较成功的作品之一，发行之后就一直停留于排行榜的前20位。Ludovico Einaudi的音乐大都是带着忧伤的，但又一点都不过分，很好的一种减压音乐。他无疑有着更为扎实和浑厚的古典钢琴和交响乐作曲功底和才华，使得他的音乐浑然天成。尽管只是独奏，气势依然独到。另外值得一提的是作者所用的钢琴乃是来自Fabbrini Collection中Registration 542.741的Steinway & Sons的piano。这张的封面也非常唯美，就象专辑中的曲子一样。

Alt-classical composer/pianist Ludovico Einaudi returns with a brand new album ‘Elements’ released on 16th October on the Decca label.
With that in mind Music-News.com caught up with Ludovico Einaudi at Decca HQ in London to find out more. Check out our exclusive interview below.
Einaudi has quietly become one of the most successful musicians on the planet. His hauntingly beautiful and evocative music tops the classical charts worldwide, particularly here in the UK and in his home country Italy) and he has sold over 1.5 million records. He is the biggest streamed classical artist in the UK with over 130 million streams – that’s more than Pavarotti and Bocelli, and neck a neck with current chart stars Years & Years.
‘Elements’ was recorded this year at his studio in the Italian countryside. It is inspired by the world around him: nature’s elements (earth, water, air, and fire) as well as the lines of the grass and hills, mathematical and scientific elements, musical form and works of arts including those by Paul Klee and Gustav Klimt. Einaudi created the album’s cover artwork himself – drawing a variety of different symbols and illustrations, which combine to stunning effect.
Einaudi’s music has been heard by millions worldwide – especially through adverts, trailers, film scores and TV soundtracks. He has provided music for more than 20 films including Shane Meadows’ ‘This Is England’ film and the TV sequel ‘This Is England ‘86’, for which he earned a BAFTA nomination, as well as ‘Black Swan’ (starring Oscar winner Natalie Portman) and Ricky Gervais’ TV series ‘Derek’.
Einaudi has performed to huge crowds at venues around the world and has even achieved a Top 40 pop hit thanks to a BBC Radio 1 campaign by DJ Greg James. His recent UK dates include sell-out performances at Blenheim Palace, Hammersmith Apollo, Barbican and headlining the iTunes festival at the Roundhouse.
His music has been described as minimalist, alt-classical, ambient and contemporary, but it defies easy classification. He sums it up best: “There is something in it that comes from classical, but I have influences from different music I have experienced in my life, from African music to folk and rock.”
This latest album brings together a musical alchemy that draws on elements of electronicam, world, rock and classical music – reflecting Einaudi’s unique position on the international music scene.
