I like to ponder sometimes Bill and Rebecca's thought process when stringing songs together.
My present ponder with Einaudi following Florence & The Machine is that Florence flits around on stage like she is listening to an Einaudi score.![think](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/eusa_think.gif)

Nice enough song, albeit similar to his Divenire stuff. Bit of an "if the bike ain't broke" sort of guy?
Beautiful music, it's 1.05am here and it suits a cold November night.
Bless you all at RP
Thank you for playing such a great mix of music.

i like this instrumental song , i like all the time
Everytime I hear this instrumental song "Life" by Ludovic Einaudi I have to stop what I'm doing and just listen. It has the best aspects of a wonderful film score, where you can almost picture the emotions....

This is getting as worn as Pachelbel's canon, I'm afraid. As rich as the classical repertoire is, can't you find something new?

I'm always glad when I switch on RP, and something by Einaudi is playing.

What a nice story. I'm sorry your friend is gone. So glad you got to share such beautiful music together near the end.
My best friend of 50+ years passed away last year. In his dotage he fell head over heels in love with a lovely, indeed stunning, young Italian girl. He and I habitually had spirited ourselves away from our women and our lives periodically to chill, talk, and too much toward the end reminisce. During our last trip, this after his cancer had been diagnosed, I decided one night that music was in order and played Einaudi's Devenire from my iPod. He looked up, "How did you know that's what I wanted?" Lucky guess. Turned out Einaudi was one of the mutual loves they bonded over. I can't hear Einaudi now without seeing him, forever jumbled in a tangle of emotions. Until the very end he never quite learned that you're never too old for love.

Nice relaxing music on a Friday afternoon. Thanks for providing the chill pill.
I laugh a lot when I read people saying "elevator music", and then gives a 10 punctuation to weird and trance songs. You suck. Ludovico is not the best composer in the world, but is fine and listennable.

I'd happily be trapped in that elevator. For real lift music, try Brian Eno's ambient stuff - this is more accurately described as minimalist, in the Philip Glass mould. As folk often say, less is more, and I've always thought that about Einaudi's work: it has a subtle complexity that comes out on repeated listens. It's also highly evocative of its subject. 9 from the entranced Nottingham jury.

I love the eclecticism of RP, but Einaudi? What's next, George Winston, Yanni, Kenny G, Chris Botti, John Tesh...?
I'm always mystified by the high ratings that Einaudi's musical twaddle gets from RP's generally discerning listeners.

Point taken. I guess I thought that "pablum" had spread farther afield and/or that fredriley's profession would have bumped him up against the word before now.

I like his music; saw him in person about 3 years ago. My friends said every song sounded the same. Oh well. In any case, as with any of the wonderful tunes on RP, simply click on PSD if you don't care for it. I think it's fine to post our likes and dislikes but to go on a rant about anything - that really is boring.
Sublime. Like wordless poetry painting pictures on my mind. Another beautiful album from a modern genius.

What consistently amazes me is how such inoffensive music winds some RP folk up bigtime. I can see their veins bulging and steam come up out of their ears as they type their angry comments. Dislike of Einaudi I can understand, or even just plain boredom, but the burning hatred that appears on RP is staggering. What on earth is it about Einaudi that engenders such bile? At worst, his stuff is just background muzak.

It is odd that his music seems to make some people so angry. A lot of his music seems to be composed to elicit some sort of meditative or serene response yet it ironically produces the opposite response — there is something interesting about that. It's not the sort of music I would buy, but it doesn't bother me so much either, and I agree, that at its worst, it's background muzak - unless there are some subliminal messages to buy Fiats or San Pellegrino beverages buried in the mix.
I was amused by gvan's comment though: "He should be named Quaaludovico."
* "Pablum" is a 20th Century word which originated in the 1930s; it is a fortified oatmeal/corn meal/farina-type of cereal for babies. It's name came from the older, Latin word "pabulum".

I've often wondered the same thing. I grew up listening to classical music, maybe that has something to do with it?

What consistently amazes me is how such inoffensive music winds some RP folk up bigtime. I can see their veins bulging and steam come up out of their ears as they type their angry comments. Dislike of Einaudi I can understand, or even just plain boredom, but the burning hatred that appears on RP is staggering. What on earth is it about Einaudi that engenders such bile? At worst, his stuff is just background muzak.

Dont like

The same old Einaudi trick ... boring and unbearable. The guy is smart like a fox ...
OMG, how I hate this cheap imitation of classic music!
Although this might not suit everyone's musical palette, thanks to RP for again introducing us to the wider spectrum of music out there, even though it might lie outside of some listeners narrow groove

If you have chills while listening to this musical master then you appreciate higher art forms that enlighten humanity. Godlike. J.S. Bach would approve.

That's all fine for helping to encourage a young'un's budding musical talents and experimentations, but this is an adult audience so I prefer real talent. Lucky that I feel kindly today, giving it a 3.
