Ludovico Einaudi: Tiny Desk Concert
Kara Frame | July 15, 2022 Ludovico Einaudi was on a North American tour, playing before audiences in the thousands, when he stopped by the NPR office to play a far more intimate setting: a Tiny Desk set. It’s the first tour for the Italian pianist and composer since the beginning of the pandemic, following the release of his 2022 album, Underwater. It’s an album that captures how many have felt in the pandemic — feeling underwater, or trapped in another world. It’s that relatable feeling — like we’re treading water trying to remain above the surface, powering through the adversity of the last two years — that makes Einaudi’s music so emotional and reflective. The pulsating strings of the opening song to his Tiny Desk concert, the track “Experience” from his 2013 album In A Time Lapse, demand attention, captivating the audience. The fact that the song recently went viral due to a TikTok trend only proves how welcoming Einaudi’s music is — and why he is the most-streamed classical pianist of all time. Ludovico Einaudi’s presence at the piano keeps you waiting for more. His fingers glide over the keys effortlessly, but he never seems rushed. As he plays, his eyes are closed. And in this concert, you can tell his music moves him as much as it does his audience. SET LIST “Experience” “Fly” “Flora” “Low Mist” MUSICIANS Ludovico Einaudi: piano Federico Mecozzi: violin Redi Hasa: cello Francesco Arcuri: percussion TINY DESK TEAM Producer/Director: Kara Frame Audio Engineer: Josh Rogosin Director: Joshua Bryant Creative Director: Bob Boilen Series Producer: Bobby Carter Editor: Kara Frame Videographers: Kara Frame, Joshua Bryant, Michael Zamora, Pierre Kattar Production Assistant: Jill Britton, Joby Tanseco Tiny Desk Team: Suraya Mohamed, Marissa Lorusso, Hazel Cills, Ashley Pointer, Maia Stern VP, Visuals and Music: Keith Jenkins Senior VP, Programming: Anya Grundmann #tinydesk #nprmusic #ludovicoeinaudi

Mother's Delight (Reel) NTAD
I'm learning a new tune everyday. Today I learned another tune off of Alec Finn and Frankie Gavin's old duo recording. The album titles on this particular recording are a bit messed up, and so the name of this tune is not Sean Frank's like it's listed, but Mother's Delight. This tune is often played in another key (Em) but I am playing it in Frankie Gavin's setting, in D, and the fiddle is tune up approximately one half-step. My apologies to people out there with perfect pitch - I tuned to the recording, and it's not a tempered key. https://bit.ly/3P3DYKn https://bit.ly/3RANXbo
