And you might, too. The applause kept coming from the capacity crowd at the Palace of Fine Arts Theater on Monday night for the long awaited Einaudi concert. At the end of the second half of the show the grateful audience was rewarded with smiles from the band and a lot more music. They seemed to deeply appreciate our enthusiasm. I have heard that plans are being made for a return performance, hopefully in the next 12 months. It seems that Einaudi is always touring, but as you can see from his website, there are some gaps between concert dates. Ludovico fills that time with composition and recording. I’ve heard he is working on more film music and an opera commission, his first.
Here is the set list from the Monday concert:
Planets
Lady labyrinth
Nightbook
In principio
Indaco
The crane dance
The tower
Ludvico solo piano
Bye bye mon amour
Reverie
Nightbook version 2
Eros
Divenire
Due tramonte
Fly
Andare
Eden roc
Lady labyrinth version 2
As for the solo piano pieces, his tour manager Karen wrote that “no one can remember because Ludo always does what ever he feels… Its the Italian way!”

I am so delighted to have discovered Ludovico Einaudi – discovered only by listening daily to your radio station and your choices of music, Hoyt. Thank you! Last night was a lovely and powerful performance. With the set list above, I can now see what I do not already own and will purchase. I am looking forward to a return performance. I will be there! Thank you.

My husband and I attended last nights concert. It was so rewarding to actually hear a live performance by Enaudi. A big thank you to KDFC for featuring his music and making the concert possible. His music is an intriguing blend that is exciting to experience. Very gifted and inspired. Joanna Shafer

Woke up weeping to Due Tramonti (Two Sunsets); on KDFC.
My true love, best friend, wife of 36 years, mother of two sons, Cindy, had been visiting her 90 years old parents in Hawaii going on 14 days.
I missed her so.
The opening cord of Due Tramonti got me, captured my soul…never felt anything like it.
I had a tremendous profound emotional response, unique.
(What is it…what is that magic?)
Was at the concert. Brilliant bright moments, a dazzilling night …didn’t want it to end. Looking forward to another.
Thanks KDFC.
