DIVENIRE (2 LP)

Double 180 gram vinyl LP pressing. The music of Italian pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi is an antidote to the stress of our hectic world... effortlessly lyrical and always supremely refined. With a unique musical alchemy that draws on elements of classical, rock, electronica and world musics he has rendered traditional ideas of genre and audience divide obsolete. His hypnotically beautiful album Divenire, originally released in 2008, is now available here on 180g vinyl. Divenire, his most musically ambitious album yet and his greatest commercial success to date, gathered many of the musical 'streams' that had flowed through Ludovico's career and expanded on them with the help of The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and a battery of digital effects. On release it became a phenomenon, topping classical charts throughout Europe and crashing the Italian pop charts. With sales in excess of 300,000 copies and a BRIT awards nomination for Album of the Year, Ludovico embarked on the biggest tour of his career with 80 dates across Europe.
