Ludovico Einaudi — Steve Jobs Theatre, 2019

Why this recording

Premiered on 23 September 2020 on the artist's official channel under licence to Decca, the film comes with a selection the composer himself describes as a return to pieces left in the shadows, drawn from albums and film scores alike. The chapter list reflects that choice: the concert opens with “Letter”, closes with “The Path of the Fossils” and makes room for “L'Origine Nascosta” and “Elegy for the Arctic”. “Nuvole Bianche”, which the description lists among his best-known works, only arrives at 58:56, second to last.

Live full concert of Ludovico Einaudi at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park, filmed on 12 June 2019 in Cupertino. The Italian composer and pianist was the first musician to perform in this auditorium, for an exclusive capture made for Apple Music and directed by Paul Dugdale. On stage, Einaudi is joined by cellist Redi Hasa and violinist and violist Federico Mecozzi, a compact trio that extends the artist’s minimalist, cinematic writing. The set draws heavily on the Seven Days Walking cycle, released the same year, while revisiting emblematic pieces from the repertoire such as “Nuvole Bianche” and “Experience.” The capture, visually spare, matches the contemplative nature of the music, with extreme care given to sound and light. It is a live performance that highlights the hypnotic repetition, layered strings and melodic restraint characteristic of Einaudi. A reference concert film for discovering the Italian composer in a small ensemble, in an unprecedented venue and a capture of rare aesthetic rigour.
