Ludovico Einaudi - Nefeli - Barbican 2006

[thechieftain21]

Pretty poor quality, it made me turn off unfortunately :(

[ApleMilkshaxes]

This reminds me of a tall slender pale skinned dark haired girl from Holland with flowers in her hair, there's a hill filled with flowers and a windmill on the top. She's in a long white dress, and the mud is dirtying the bottom. She's walking and she get's to a cliff, with raging waters below. She takes a step forward, and falls off the edge, today in science i learnt that if a fat guy jumped too, they would fall and land at the same time ;)

grandeee ludovico!!!!!

[Bommetje23]

beautiful! and i can play that song too!

[jacnal]

Ludo's playing the Barbican 1st October. Tickets (if still available) are selling pretty fast so buy one! I'm seeing him there and I can't wait. He'll also appear at the Concrete and Glass on the 2nd October (amongst other performers though). Google for more details.

[dreamgirl23]

omg!!! i think i was there!!!

[littlenatnatz101]

:O omg you are so lucky, i would do anything to see him in concert. He's my inspiration...

[j0sheydude]

D= your so lucky, i would give alot to see him and i know he is not coming back to the barbican for a long time :[

[dreamgirl23]

oh no! he won't be back? i went and saw him in 2002 at the barbican as well. loved to see him again!

[j0sheydude]

he will be coming back to london but not for ages i don't think -.-

[emmaaaaargh]

personally i think this song is a lot more effectively portrayed when played slower. it sounds more delicate yet more passionate when slower. however einaudi's performances are always awesome!! i just think its beauty is tripled when its slower.

[YKW2]

I seem to recall reading that this piece was written for a young Greek girl of the same name (possibly the daughter of one of Einaudi's friends). He was trying to capture some of her "cheerful energy" - maybe that explains the tempo...

[mizukage095]

Allevi, Einaudi e Yiruma i migliori!!!

Soprattutto Allevi!

[Nyrella]

grande einaudi!

[SpiderSilk88]

my favourite song. too bad you can only see his back and not his hands.

[Brav3he4rt]

GRAZIE LUDOVICO! 6 grande!

[hollo9681]

love this song - einaudi is underated!

[Blu4ever06]

Grazie, Ludovico.

[philalkin]

I listen to classic fm but like to think i have enough nouse, self control,and decorum to wait for the end of a piece before applauding. By the way, this mans music is out of this world.

[gRAVItation1988]

@philalkin Please dont export all the good things to heaven :)

[duck1947]

Does anyone know if he is releasing a DVD of his concerts as I was unable to see him live....

[MetalEdinthemaking]

it's never choppy when i play it, and i'm 14 :S i love it, it's so nice to play. it's an amazing song and he plays it to perfection.

[robynoo]

im 14 too. i just said it sounds so smooth when he plays it. when recording it it sounds loud and buzzy on the camera.

[robynoo]

he gets it perfect and it sounds so nice. when i play it it sounds quite choppy. I wonder if it's how I use the pedal...

[j0sheydude]

I think I know why, The piano he is playing on is a steinway, the best piano in the world. But i see what you mean it sounds choppy when i play it too, but i only have an upright piano

[mcard1d]

This man is a legend.

[TinkleFingers]

i second that!

[OpinionOwner]

@TinkleFingers And I third(?) it!

[cunthater]

i saw einaudi at this concert in the barbican. he was great, but it was marred by hundreds of classic fm listeners who had never attended a recital before applauding before he'd finished some of the pieces

[j0sheydude]

I was playing this song and when i paused people began to clap and i get really angy, but carried on :P

[ciliegiah]

this is my favourite <3

[ceciapecia]

ç__ç sig, i'ts so beautiful!

[DeliciousInTheSky]

12 december.

[hollo9681]

anyone know what the secret tracks called on the end of the eden roc cd? it sounds so good and simple! i need the sheets :)

[Iainaplin]

is that the one after Exit.? ,, i dont know that it was ever noted. but i can make them for you if you like.

[thegordon79]

Thanks....thanks....

[j0sheydude]

I love nefeli. I WANT TO SEE EINAUDI >:(

[84OblivioN84]

absolutely GREAT!

[Iainaplin]

the song he plays after this is called primavera. it is an improv on the album version. but still is very lovely.

[TinkleFingers]

thanks!

[jordanryda7]

No, I think it is Divenire.
