Mini bio
How it started.
Einaudi studied in Turin and Milan, then became Luciano Berio’s assistant. A 1982 scholarship took him to Tanglewood and introduced him to American minimalism. He initially wrote for ballet, theatre and ensembles.
Finding his voice.
Stanze explored a spare musical language through pieces for harp. Le Onde brought that approach to solo piano and a wider audience. Travels in Mali later inspired I Giorni and a partnership with kora player Ballaké Sissoko.
Music that travels.
His recordings also reach listeners through cinema. Music from his catalogue appears in Nomadland and The Father; Cinema gathers his work heard on screen. In 2025, The Summer Portraits led to an eight-track reworking with his son Leo.
