Soundtrack review

With the titles of minimalist and crossover being credited to him at the same time, Ludovico Einaudi manages to strike a well balance between melodic piano tunes and experimental ambient music in this film score album “Fuori Dal Mondo”, demonstrating his ability to command versatile music styles, not only classical.

Unlike his widely acclaimed solo piano compositions, this highly “Einaudian” musical instrument does not dominate this film soundtrack album. Cello is heavily used in introducing and developing the theme of the movie; and the two interludes, presented by percussion and female voice respectively, manage to show a dramatic transition of different emotions. Moto Perpetuo is largely made up of some brief and desultory notes, while Alta Pressione even exhibits a sophisticated flavor of electronic music, repetitive but not excessively industrial. All these endeavors remind the audience of Luciano Berio, with whom Einaudi has spent several years studying. Being one of the most important Italian musicians of the 20th century, Berio has been recognized as having great ambition in exploring new sources of music, in particular by his 1968 experimental composition Sinfonia for voices and orchestra.

These versatile and avant-garde characteristics, however, are not usually seen in Einaudi’s works, including his other film scores. Besides the abundant use of cello as well as other string instruments, the original film soundtrack of the 2002 TV series Dr. Zhivago is considerably different from this album, with the former being a collection of conventional classical music pieces, which vividly reveal the inward affliction and struggle of Yuri Zhivago, the sensitive and poetic leading character in the world famous novel of Boris Pasternak.
