Emotional rollercoater leaving none of your emotions untouched

Advantages: Makes you feel alive
Disadvantages: Can leave you feeling a bit drained after going through so many emotions that Ludovico provokes.

When listening to Ludovico Einaudi's Le Onde my emotions were flung around like a child on a roller coaster ride. Just as you think your spirit could go no higher your inner soul is tossed out like a wave being thrashed against the rocks by the sea. Calmly your mind settles as the play begins to mellow gently the music deepens and as I gently breath a breath into my lungs my mind becomes full of elation. From within Ludovico's mind’s eye to his fingers ...

The most wonderful album

Advantages: Beautiful tracklist, lovely voice
Disadvantages: None

...is a traditional hymn that Camilla performs wonderfully, recently you may have also heard Faryl Smith singing this on her sophmore album (as well as her debut) Wonderland and while both versions are beautiful, I found Camilla’s more pleasing. It could be because I’m more of a Camilla fan to be honest, but it is…pretty darn amazing! I Can’t Help Falling In Love is a song I’d only heard once before, I’d heard Mark Owen sing it on youtube and really ...
...lovely. Most people will know Camilla for this track which is good because it shows her talents very well. I had no idea what to expect with Rain, I’d never heard of it before and sadly google didn’t help me much so I listened with great curiosity. I LOVED it. It’s so bright and joyful, perfect to listen to in the springtime I think. It just conjures up lovely imagery, I can see a lovely garden and fairies, it would be perfect for a family movie ...

Paint the Sky and Get a Tingle Down The Back of Your Neck

Advantages: A very haunting album to listen to and very relaxing
Disadvantages: Track 11 could be longer

Paint the Sky with Stars by Enya is a classic album. Every track is excellent and so relaxing to listen to, one song just flows into another and great to listen to when you want to unwind after a hard day’s work. She has a haunting voice that gives me a tickle on the back of my neck; I could listen to her for hours. Let me take you through the album. Track one: The famous ‘Orinoco Flow’ this is a chirpy song and the chorus line every so often ‘Sail ...
...drums. What a great choice for the start of the album. Track two: ‘Caribbean Blue’ with its soft strumming guitar start, and then she starts to sing. Her voice is something else. If you close your eyes you can imagine the tide ebbing in and out, I can almost feel the water lapping around my feet. Track three: ‘Book of Days’ a piano plays all the way through this very catchy track and the background choristers really compliment Enya here. Track four: ...

Einaudi to chill out

Advantages: Beautifully relaxing music
Disadvantages: None

...albums (including some duets). Una Mattina is his seventh album, and contains all new tracks. 'Una Mattina' translates as 'one morning' and the music is as simple as this title. It is another of his solo piano albums, although it does feature the cello in some tracks. It flows where you expect it to, although not in a boring way. The music ripples along, and the cello brings real emotion in certain tracks. The subtle variations in the music and tempo ...
...a suite of pieces. The music is very calming and relaxing, and evokes feelings of peace and tranquility. It is suitable as background music, or simply to listen and relax to. A few people might recognise one of the tracks, Nuvole Bianche from a TV advert for Baci chocolates, used at Christmas time last year. This and 'Ora' are my favourite tracks, although 'A Fuoco' featuring cello makes a close second. The cello tracks (played by Marco Decimo) ...

More elegance and openness.

Advantages: Some lovely peaceful music

...a Minimalist. "In general I don't like definitions, but 'Minimalist' is a term that means elegance and openness, so I would prefer to be called a Minimalist than something else." -Ludovico Einaudi And 'elegance and openness' is the best way to describe the music that is on this CD. The inside of the inlay of the CD tells that one time the composer was driving through part of Africa when a piece of music came on the radio. The music told the story ...
...or a loved one. I am not at all sure what this has got to do with the music on the CD - perhaps this piece of the music and the story behind it gave inspiration for the music, but I'm not sure about that. Tracks on this CD include: 1. Melodia Africana I 2. I Due Fiumi 3. In Un'altra Vita 4. Melodia Africana II 5. Stella Del Mattino 6. I Giorni 7. Samba 8. Melodia Africana III 9. La Nascita Delle Cose Segrete 10. Quel Che Resta 11. Inizio ...
