His music is beautiful, it's mellifluous and it leaves you breathless, I highly recommend it and play it regularly for my baby girl at night before she sleeps.

It's nice to hear classical music from a newly discovered (in the USA) artist. I can not pick a favorite track as they are all beautiful. The thread that connects all of them is a serenity that wraps itself around you as you listen to each piece.

Enjoy!

Having heard three other albums by Einoudi including the best of an Le Onde, I decided to purchase Eden Roc expecting more of the same exceptional masterpeices. But I was pleasantly surprised to hear so much more depth and fervour in this work. With guitar and violins integrated into many of the pieces, it just makes some of the songs so incredibly haunting and emotive. There is a lot more structure to this album in comparrison to Le Onde and more diversity throughout the album, with some pieces going on for a long time with just pipes on their own followed the by the slow intergration of a little bit of piano, and others quite vivacious and light, and others just tear jerking masterpieces. Pretty much all of the songs are breathtaking, unlike le Onde and Una Matina which have rather a lot of ... Read More

Ludovico is a quintessential example of a proponent of the neo-classical style of music, the natural development of late romantic efforts of Erik Satie and his peers. Ludovico's music is often musically fairly simplistic and technically not difficult in many cases, but this is by no means a comment on his talent. For me as an appreciator of this genre the true beauty of his work lies in the vivid self expression and freedom that the player is allowed. I am quite an unskilled pianist, but in playing his work i find a quite unique form of personal expression that is only possible in such free-flowing, emotional music. Many people would describe this music as ambient, but personally I find it to be engaging to the emotions. The warmth and clear love of playing present in his style serves to make the ... Read More

I will never buy another Coldplay album without hearing it first. This is the best example of a "DBB" (download it before buying it) album. I can understand how a band should evolve and not repeat themselves. From The Beatles to Depeche Mode we have seen bands changing their style album after album but STILL each album is great. Tough I didn't expect another A Rush of Blood album I sure expected great melodies or complex arrangements. None of this is found here. Sure, "VIVA LA VIDA" is one of the greatest songs of this years and one of Coldplay's best, but do we have to go all through an album of dull "songs" just to have one or at the most 2 great songs?? I can't believe this is the same Brian Eno that produced such gems with Bowie and Talking Heads. I guess a producer can't do much when the artist lacks ... Read More

I just love this album and am disappointed to learn that Helen has no others to offer.

I am using this to stay focused as I work. It's so beautiful, and calming that I can work for many hours without distress.

I am rested. Thank you, Helen.
