A fabulous set of piano scores. I'm glad that previous reviewers have described Einaudi's work as 'minimalist' rather than 'simple' (a term I have seen used elsewhere). It is very easy to classify albums such as Le Onde and I Giorni as easy listening music, as the ear is deceived by the simplicity of the chords and cadences into thinking that ease of listening equates to simplicity of composition. But this is not the case - Einaudi is a master of understatement, and playing from the scores (gratifyingly, always an accurate representation of the original pieces) reveals the hidden complexity of the music and the amount of care that has been taken to produce exactly the right sounds and emotions in the most direct way possible.
A good collection for intermediate players who want to build up confidence - beware of the 'intermediate' rating as "Big My Secret" and "Wurlitzer" are, I believe, a little more difficult than one might expect. Having said that, it's more of an observation than a criticism - most of the collection is eminently playable for an intermediate musician (even sight reading!). I particularly like 'Balcony Scene from Romeo and Juliet', 'Memories of Green', 'Tides' and 'Watermark', because they offer the greatest reward for the smallest effort in learning. Overall, a very worthwhile purchase that rewards persistence.
