Ludovico Einaudi: Clouds - Jeroen Van Veen - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Ludovico Einaudi’s (b. 1955) minimalist, deceptively simple piano works reach a massive audience well beyond the strict boundaries of traditional classical music. CDs with his music break sales records, the hypnotic calmness of his works being the perfect recipe against modern world’s stress and fatigue. In that sense Einaudi may well become the “Satie of the 21st century”. Einaudi’s piano works fit in logically with Jeroen van Veen’s survey of Minimalist Piano Music, and this 7-CD set is the successor of Van Veen’s hugely successful set “Waves”, issued in 2013 (Brilliant Classics 9452). This new set presents works from Einaudi’s most recent compositions: Stanze, Elements, Seven Days Walking, Underwater and film music. Dutch pianist, pioneer and champion of Minimalism Jeroen van Veen plays the piano in his inimitable way: focused, serene and hypnotizing. Praise for Jeroen van Veen on Brilliant Classics: ‘Van Veen is quite brilliant in the quirky fourth [Philip Glass Etude] and his reading of the exquisite, valedictory 20th is excellent.’ Gramophone. ‘Jeroen van Veen’s recording can stand alongside the best from any source, and this [Arvo Pärt] set is worthy of high praise in every regard.’ MusicWeb International. ‘Van Veen is a supremely eloquent performer of his own music. His touch is remarkably varied, carrying none of the hammered urgency of, for example, Michael Nyman’s performances of Nyman.’ Fanfare.
