"A night-time landscape. A garden faintly visible under the
dull glow of the night sky. A few stars dotting the darkness
above, shadows of the trees all around. Light shining from a
window behind me. What I can see is familiar, but it seems
alien at the same time. It's like a dream - anything may
happen."
This is how Ludovico Einaudi describes his latest work
'Nightbook', as something transitional between light and
darkness, between the known and the unknown. This new album
comes three years after the international success of the
previous work, Divenire (To Become).
The album was gradually composed while Einaudi was on tour
around the world, during which he kept jotting down his
thoughts and ideas in a notebook, recording them in "musical
sketches" that evolved into the groundwork of the present
project.
Recorded in Milan, the album involved various other musicians
with whom Einaudi has worked over the years, such as the
cellist Marco Decimo, the viola-player Antonio Leofreddi, and
Robert Lippok.
