Ludovico Einaudi Adds Three Barbican London Shows To UK Tour
Friday, 22 February 2013
Written by Jon Stickler
Composer/pianist Ludovico Einaudi, whose latest album ‘In A Time Lapse’ hit Number 1 in the Classical charts and Number 24 in the pop charts on its release at the end of January, has announced that he will return to the UK to play three consecutive shows at London’s Barbican Centre in the summer.
Einaudi’s hauntingly beautiful and evocative music has sold over 1.5 million records and has quietly made him one of the most successful musicians in the world. He has provided music for more than 20 films including Shane Meadows’ ‘This Is England’ film and the TV sequel ‘This Is England ‘86’, as well as Darren Aronovsky’s ‘Black Swan’ and the French International hit ‘Untouchable’. In 2011 Radio 1 DJ Greg James led a successful campaign to get Einaudi’s piece ‘I Giorni’ into the Top 40 of the Official Singles Charts and Professor Green sampled Einaudi on his hit single ‘Astronaut’. In 2012 he performed at the BT River Of Music that coincided with the Olympics and in October he performed his score for ‘This Is England’ live at a screening of the film at the London Film Festival.
Einaudi’s previously announced Spring UK tour is almost completely sold out.
