In September 2007, Ludovico Einaudi recorded his hit album “Live in Berlin” at the Philharmonie; 19 years later, his masterpieces return to a historic church in Schöneberg

In September 2007, Ludovico Einaudi took the stage in the Chamber Music Hall of the Berlin Philharmonic. The Italian pianist and composer was on tour with his album *Divenire* at the time and captured his Berlin performance for posterity. The recording was released under the title *Live in Berlin* and remains one of the most special concert recordings of his career to this day.

19 years later, his unmistakable music returns to the capital in a completely different setting. At the classical tribute concert *The Best of Ludovico Einaudi*, you can experience his most famous works at the historic Apostle Paul Church in Schöneberg—performed on the piano and surrounded by the warm light of countless candles.

With his minimalist compositions and soulful piano melodies, Ludovico Einaudi has carved out a unique place for himself in the world of modern music. His works blend classical influences with contemporary elements and captivate listeners with their exceptional emotional depth. In 2007, he once again captivated the Berlin audience with his music.

The focus of that concert was his album *Divenire*, whose pieces unfolded with a special sonic diversity in the chamber music hall. In addition to Einaudi’s piano playing, a string ensemble and electronic elements by brothers Robert and Ronald Lippok created an impressive musical atmosphere. The combination of classical instruments and modern sounds gave the compositions a dynamic all their own.

The concert was eventually released as the live album *Live in Berlin*. It features works such as “Divenire,” “Primavera,” and “Le Onde”—pieces that remain part of Einaudi’s well-known repertoire to this day.

Nearly two decades later, you can experience some of these melodies once again in the impressive Apostel-Paulus-Kirche. The Neo-Gothic church was built at the end of the 19th century according to plans by Franz Schwechten and, with its imposing brick architecture, offers an extraordinary concert setting.

By candlelight, pianist Giorgos Fragos will perform selected works by Einaudi, including “Nuvole Bianche,” “Una Mattina,” “Divenire,” “Fly,” and “Elegy for the Arctic.” Unlike the concert at the Philharmonie back then, this time the focus will be on the piano and the special atmosphere created by candlelight. An atmospheric tribute by candlelight to one of the most influential contemporary composers.
