Description
Ludovico Einaudi is known for his relaxing piano music. These pieces were originally written for piano, but when harpist Cecilia Chailly played them through, she edited them for harp, resulting in this significant collection. Einaudi wrote these pieces to leave space to be inhabited with the mind. Chailly and Einaudi collaborated and recorded an album of the same title. YouTube below the table of contents.
