It's a mighty and daunting task to try and fit in amongst the pantheon of Classical and Baroque masters. Would be good sound track material though.

Reminds me of some the Satie's material but with more Orchestra backing/building

Just because the medium (an orchestra, in this case) is the same does not necessarily mean that the art should be compared.
Signor Einaudi's oeuvre bears little semblance to those of the Classical or Baroque masters, outside of often being composed for orchestras.
Agatha Christie and James Joyce are both greatly influential writers. Of these two, only Joyce's works are considered unqualified masterpieces.
This doesn't mean that Christie's books fell short, just that masterpieces were not her business - nor are they Einaudi's. This is soundtrack material, and probably pretty good soundtrack material at that (though I prefer Hans Zimmer).

I have always enjoyed music but when I read a few books about what makes music work I enjoyed it more. I despised classical music until I learned by reading Bach's Musical Offering: History, Interpretation and Analysis by Hans T David. Now that I understand what makes classical music interesting, and I understand how a theme works and what variations are etc, listening to classical music is interesting to me.

He's sampling heavily from Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Good thing Antonio can't bring a lawsuit; boy would he win!

Okay, maybe it was a bit harsh looking at it now 6 years ago.
On the internet you have youtubers dissecting musical pieces. If one would do this it would go like this:
It starts with a well known 4 chord progression which he uses in this and that song too. The piano uses the exact same notes as the chords to construct a melody. The next 1 minute you hear the same music, but now an octave higher. Parallel notes everywhere. 4/4. No prelude. If the chords starts, the melody line follows it to the point of absolute boredom. There is truly nothing to discover than mechanical simple tricks to fill 5 minutes with boring nothing.
There are a few rules good composers try to follow. Einaudi seems to ignore them all. And not because he brings something new or exciting like for example jazz did in 1920 or Radiohead in the last decade. No, he does exactly the same as the brainless contemporary pop music, but now with a sauce of classical music. Almost anyone can play a piece of Einaudi and that's why you tend to hear him on the public piano's often. Easy to impress the musically uneducated but behind the curtain it's poor mans filler music.

You need to look on the playlist. RP regularly throws Beethoven, Satie, Vivaldi, Mozart and other 'classic' classical composers into the mix, and extremely welcome they are to listeners going by the ratings. They've not gone quite as far as Birtwhistle and Stockhausen, for which the universe be praised, but it's fair to say that the classical mix is as eclectic as the 'modern' one.
Eclectic yes, only sometimes I wish it was a bit more daring. And if Stockhausen might test the patience of even the most open minded listeners, how about Can, at least?

Thanks for playing. Haven't heard it in awhile. Brilliant music.
Primavera. Spring. Here it is, with a full month of winter left in NYC, and it's 56 and sunny and the snow piles are gone and some spring birds are chirping. That's a good deal, except when it's weirdly, freakishly, environmentally premature.
But the music is nice.

I don't understand why, when the 'non-classical' content on RP is so varied and interesting, the classical music played is so bland. Einuadi is non-music, sub-supermarket doodling. Arvo Part would be a better 'contemporary' choice, or John Adams, Steve Reich, Graham Fitkin etc.

It was this and several other pieces from Satie etc. that launched my fascination with minimalism and launched two piano "careers". My older son is now a very decent player and I have taken a needed sabbatical from my very rudimentary playing but will return soon. Love this piece...

I brought a couple of friends to his performance a few years ago. They would have rather stuck needles in their eyes and claimed that all his music sounded the same. Oh well, I enjoyed it! :-)

What's with all the hate? isn't this just supposed to be a song you listen to in the background - you half listen, you half don't - it's musical wallpaper and very pleasant at that. It has its place and doesn't pretend to be anything else.

I don't understand why, when the 'non-classical' content on RP is so varied and interesting, the classical music played is so bland. Einuadi is non-music, sub-supermarket doodling. Arvo Part would be a better 'contemporary' choice, or John Adams, Steve Reich, Graham Fitkin etc.

First the song is not bland, its fairly seasoned and spiced.
Second, there are plenty of other non-classical pieces on the station ... but you just aren't hearing them at the time because their rotation isn't in line with your listening pattern. So if you listen more :) you'll hear the wider diversity when it comes.
Third, you haters be hatin' :-P :)

I don't understand why, when the 'non-classical' content on RP is so varied and interesting, the classical music played is so bland. Einuadi is non-music, sub-supermarket doodling. Arvo Part would be a better 'contemporary' choice, or John Adams, Steve Reich, Graham Fitkin etc.

I completely disagree ...
First the song is not bland, its fairly seasoned and spiced.
Second, there are plenty of other non-classical pieces on the station ... but you just aren't hearing them at the time because their rotation isn't in line with your listening pattern. So if you listen more :) you'll hear the wider diversity when it comes.
Third, you haters be hatin' :-P :)
