The Top Ten
1 Le Onde

It unravels the mind in the most gentle way and always leaves me raw with emotions afterward. I cry every time because of the sheer beauty of this piece.

Released in 1996, this work will transport you to a place of calm and relaxation. Beautiful sound in this one.

I'm just in love with Le Onde. I like it so much that I listen to it every day.

2 I giorni

I am 13. I played this at a music festival recently and received comments like, "You could hear a pin drop," and "It gave me goosebumps." I was given the award for the most promising participant under the age of 14. The adjudicator said he had never heard it played so well and also admitted that he didn't really like Einaudi. This piece is truly beautiful.

Once at school, someone was playing this. My friends were asking me for opinions (as I am a piano player), and I was unable to reply as tears were welling up in my eyes. Greatest performance I have ever heard, and also the song that introduced me to Einaudi.

3 Melodia Africana II

You feel transported to another place listening to this piece.

4 Nuvole bianche

This definitely needs to be in the top 3. It just takes you to another place. I would recommend you all to close your eyes and listen to this piece. It just adds to the sheer brilliance of the song. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it and wanted to play it. Today, I play it every time I sit at my keyboard.

I personally feel that this should be considered the best piece Ludovico Einaudi ever composed. Every note on the piano beautifully captures every emotion the song tries to convey. Absolutely moving. I was reduced to tears.

5 Ombre

This is my favorite among the other top 6 songs. Very beautiful and deep.

Both sad and melancholy, as well as uplifting.

6 Divenire

I hear it every day. Not just this song, but the whole album of the same name, Divenire. One time, when I was missing someone I loved badly, I played this, and it released the floodgates of tears, like something wanting to burst out for so long. It let me forgive myself.

I am a young pianist. I recently played this song at a concert and received the most heartfelt comments. A woman told me she was almost in tears, and I don't blame her. This song is one of Einaudi's best.

Like water down the hill, becoming a river, then a lake, then the sea. It grows, it changes, but it's still water. It becomes bigger.

7 Onde Corte
8 Stanze

This one features the harp instead of the piano but is just as beautiful.

9 Experience

As an aspiring writer, for any scene of raw emotion or heartfelt moments, this is the song to listen to. Just listen and feel. The number of emotions and thoughts this song brings is phenomenal, and the feeling behind it is so transferable.

This song gives me an amazing boost every time I go for a run. It brings out the motivation inside of me. To me, this song makes anything seem possible. The first time I heard it (or Ludovico) was when Mirsad Bektic used it as his walkout song for a UFC fight, and it was a truly magical moment.

10 Melodia Africana III

Almost as good as Melodia Africana II but still great on its own merits.

The Contenders
11 Eden Roc

From his album Eden Roc. This one is a wonderful example of his versatility and compositional style.

12 Primavera

To me, this personifies the essence of what classical music is. This piece takes you to an amazing place of sheer musical bliss. The feeling of all emotion creeping out makes this, for me, not only Ludovico's best but one of the greatest classical music pieces of all time!

This is the most wonderful music I have heard in my life. I taught myself this piece in 2 or 3 weeks, and I think I made a good decision by learning it because it's the best.

I don't know what's so special about this song to me, but the feeling I get is just beyond words. Simply one of the best compositions in the history of music.

13 Una Mattina

His best song for one of the most brilliant films of all time!

This HAS to be in the top 10 at least! It is as good as "Fly" and "Divenire."

14 Odessa

From his album Eden Roc, this one is powerful and moving.

15 Fly

It takes you off the ground to breathtaking heights, free and though missing the ground with a profound melancholy mixed with a promise of joy. For me, it's No. 1.

Just two words: Brilliant piece.

16 Fuori Dal Mondo

From his album Eden Roc. A great example of study music. It is beautiful without being distracting.

17 Oltremare

This was the first song I ever listened to by him. It brings back so many memories.

18 In Un'altra Vita

I (14) have listened to this beautiful piece of music for as long as I can remember. This truly is the most magical piece I have ever heard. I can now play it on piano, and it gets me every time. Each time is more enjoyable than the last. This should really be higher on the list. It is the most beautiful, magical, moving piece of music I have ever heard, and it has helped me through many tough times. Thank you, Ludovico.

19 Ancora

I'm honestly surprised this isn't in the top ten because, personally, this song is my most consistent favorite of his. This song has its hooks deep within my psyche. I find myself, out of nowhere, humming the opening bars. Ludovico's masterful manipulation of crescendo and diminuendo carries me away in emotion every time and provides an addictive catharsis that I return to time and again.

Beautiful, inspiring. I learned it, and many people have said it's beautiful. A real reflective song.

20 Run

So amazing. It reminds me of a man running from something, hiding, then in the end getting caught and being dragged back to where he began.

Just a beautiful piece with an amazing pace. Definitely should be in the top ten.

Love the momentum and energy that builds up to the masterful crescendo.

21 Life

I can listen to this track 100 times, and every time it makes me feel deep emotions.

An epic piece, and it's very emotional.

22 Night

The most moving and beautiful of his works.

What can I say? It's another fantastic piece.

This can make the toughest of mankind cry. It is a beautiful, emotional, and heartfelt showcase of Einaudi's talent.

23 Giorni Dispari

Best of the best, gives me goosebumps.

24 Nightbook

I love this one! It's great to listen to and just sway your head to when doing work.

It's a great piece from a great artist.

25 The Earth Prelude

It's a fantastic piece of music. I just love listening to it.

An instant favorite. So beautiful, words can't describe it.
