New Musical Obsession

Hey y'all,

I've been listening to obsessively a new artist (for me at least) named Ludovico Einaudi. I heard the tail end of his song, Life when my mom and I were driving home from visiting the Cheltenham Badlands. It's a classical music song and I thought it was so amazing and I had to listen to it on Youtube. I started to listen to his other pieces and found so many other amazing songs. They have so much emotional depth and richness. I can't get enough of his work. I ordered some of his CDs last night so I am looking forward to being able to listen to more of his work. Here are some of his songs. My favourites so far are The Earth Prelude, Divenire, Life, Primavera and Nuovole Bianche to name a few. The Earth Prelude is a beautiful combination of melancholy and courage. Primavera is the kind of song I like to fold my laundry to. Fold it with gusto! Divenire has been used by Procter and Gamble for an Olympic commerical. It's a good song choice but I hope his music doesn't get chosen simply to be commercialized. It cheapens the music in a way but it can also make people more familiar with the artist.
