“Ludovico Einaudi is an Italian pianist and neoclassical musician. His music is ambient, meditative and often introspective, drawing on minimalism, world music and contemporary pop. He has made a significant impact in the film world, with four international awards to his name.” Here he performs Nuvole Bianche (White Clouds) with Alessia Tondo. You can find the English lyrics at this link.

Dave, that was lovely. It almost makes my heart ache (didn’t look at the English lyrics – just listened). The simplicity of the piano. Mmmmm. (Gorgeous Steinway, by the way!)

LaDona, I’m wary of sharing piano posts with you looking over my shoulder. But, I loved this music and hoped you would too. I’m glad.

No. Don’t be.
If I don’t like it, I don’t comment. But sometimes I miss some posts. So just because I haven’t commented, doesn’t mean I didn’t like it.
Keep sharing, Dave. I’m learning and hearing new stuff all the time.

Haunting and hypnotic..I loved her voice as well as the music itself…”And if you want to come back you know/Just close your eyes and then/You’ll see, you’ll find me”..Even before I read the translation I knew the message would be as beautiful as the music.

Hardly talented – unless clicking on the link that brought me to the translation is considered a talent. 😉

Very nice pick!!
It’s actually not in italian, but in a dialect from the south (not sure if it’s sicilian or what…)
Anyway, if you like him, I extremely recommend this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ce3vy00J54 (but maybe you’ve heard it already, as it’s quite famous – at least in Italy 🙂 )
