Die Musik des italienischen Pianisten und Komponisten Ludovico Einaudi (*1955) gehört zu den bemerkenswertesten Phänomenen der Gegenwart. Seine betont simpel gehaltenen Kompositionen für Klavier sprechen eine breite Hörerschicht weit über die Grenzen der (sogenannten) klassischen Musik an. Während Puristen seinen populären Klängen äußerst skeptisch gegenüberstehen, feiern ihn andere als »Satie des 21. Jahrhunderts«. Einaudi trifft mit seinen zurückhaltenden, klangschönen Kompositionen den Zeitgeist: Sie sind ein Ausgleich gegen den Stress und die Hektik in einer immer schneller werdenden Welt. Auf die Komplexität des Alltags wirkt Einaudis Musik wie ein beruhigendes Gegenmittel.
Für den niederländischen Minimal-Music-Spezialisten Jeroen van Veen, der sich in der Vergangenheit u. a. mit der Musik von Philip Glass, Arvo Pärt und Simeon ten Holt beschäftigt hat, ist das OEuvre Einaudis eine logische Erweiterung des pianistischen Repertoires. Die hier zusammengefassten Miniaturen – die meisten Kompositionen sind zwischen drei und sieben Minuten lang – decken die fast vollständige Diskografie des Turiners ab. Van Veen spielt auf der vorliegenden Retrospektive »Waves« Kompositionen der Zyklen »Le Onde« (1996), »I Giorni« (2001), »Eden Roc« (2002), »Una Mattina« (2004), »Divenire« (2006), »Nightbook« (2009) und »In a Time Lapse« (2013). Die 7-CDBox ist ein umfangreicher Überblick über Einaudis Schaffen zwischen Minimal Music und dezenten postmodernen Pop-Einflüssen. Die Interpretation durch einen anerkannten Spezialisten wie van Veen widerspricht dem Snobismus des konservativen Musik-Establishments, das in Einaudi nur eine vorübergehende Modeerscheinung der Popkultur sehen will.
Das Booklet enthält eine von Jeroen van Veen selbst verfasste Einführung über Einaudis Musik und ihre Popularität.
Ludovico Einaudi's aesthetic of emptiness has won him legions of fans worldwide, and Jeroen van Veen's survey of the piano music which is central to Einaudi's style belongs with his survey of minimalists including Glass and Nyman who are less concerned in music as an expressive language than as a commercial artefact. Likewise, his listeners absorb the music less in the sense of engaging with meaning than as backdrop to activity or release from stress. The works on this compendious collection are nearly all ›songs‹ of between 3 and 7 minutes, with the influence from pop culture that this brevity implies, and sharing with the pop world an economically aware employment of simplicity and repetition so as not unduly to tax the attention-span of the consumer. As Jeroen van Veen remarks, ›Contrary to ordinary classical music, minimal music demands little of the listener but to escape life's troubles for a moment; no comprehensive musical structures ask their full attention. ‹ All his compositions are more or less based on the music he heard when he was a child, when his mother played Chopin Preludes. Einaudi (grandson of the politician Luigi Einaudi) loved the almost hypnotic soft sound of the upright piano. Because of her he started to play the piano and tried to find his own way. The melody (if there is any at all) always goes down, hardly leaving the classical path of harmonies. His music is ambient, calm, meditative and often introspective, drawing on minimalism and contemporary pop. Other information: - Ludovico Einaudi may well become the »Satie of the 21st century«. His minimalist, deceptively simple piano works reach a massive audience well beyond the strict boundaries of traditional classical music. CDs with his music break sales records, the hypnotic calmness of his works being the perfect recipe against modern world's stress and fatigue. - Einaudi's piano works fit in logically with Jeroen van Veen's survey of Minimalist Piano Music, and this 7-CD set is the most substantial collection available at present. - Booklet contains an introduction by Jeroen van Veen to the popular success of Einaudi.
