Einaudi is probably the most streamed residing classical composer on Spotify, with tons of of tens of millions of streams on lots of his songs. His music is deeply emotive.
“I have to work round one thing that I really feel is transferring — one thing in my coronary heart, in my stomach,” he says.
His newest album, The Summer time Portraits, is a visit again to his childhood in Turin, Italy. His childlike surprise is on the core of his creativity.
“I by no means grew up, in a means. I really feel the center continues to be the center of after I was 14,” he says.
