Italian pianist and composer
Ludovico Einaudi closed out his In a Time Lapse two-and-a-half
year European tour on the stage of the Baths of Caracalla in
Rome at the weekend.
On Sunday evening, Einaudi played to a sold-out crowd as
the star of the third of three special events at the Rome Opera
House's summer venue, following a June concert by Bob Dylan and
Elton John in July.
Einaudi's performance, which received a standing ovation,
was divided into two parts, the first of which saw him
accompanied by a choir and guitars, violins and cellos, while in
the second half he took to the piano alone.
The Turin musician put together an eclectic mix of genres
for his concert in Rome, including folk, jazz, classic, pop, and
electronica.
The audience was visibly transported by the music, with the
concert ending in a festive atmosphere as concert-goers clapped
in time to the music and the usually reserved Einaudi let loose
a bit on stage, resulting in a passionate and highly charged
performance.
